Farming

Environmental changes disrupt the natural process of drying the crop. Since global warming has affected the Earth’s climate, identifying methods to dry crops is becoming a challenge for framer globally. This is where LPG helps. It is the most economic fuel which can be used to dry crops such as wheat, potatoes, barley, maize, onions, corn, fruits, grain, rice, cereal, tobacco etc.
LPG is used to power dryers more efficiently and effectively, preserving the economic value of the crop regardless of the weather. They also limit fungus and bacterial growth, allowing farmers to harvest their crops with flexibility.
 

Advantages:
LPG is nontoxic and safe around food materials.
Emissions from propane burners are lower.
LPG can be stored for extended periods of time, while gasoline or diesel fuel tends to turn rancid.
Gasoline or diesel fuel spills contaminate water, land, and crops, any propane leak vaporizes instantly.  

Dairy

Milk is a highly perishable commodity. Its nutrients make it a favorable medium for the growth of microorganisms. Therefore, it is essential that milk is subjected to certain treatments. Electric water heating turns out to be an expensive affair. LPG gives a cost advantage and is a reliable source for generating hot water supply. The hot water is used for cleaning of milk lines, storage tanks, controlling total bacteria count, processing milk and milk products, pasteurization, sterilization, temperature control of dairy shed and so on. The steam generated from the hot water is used for sterilization of milk and dairy equipment.  

Bakery

Cakes, breads, potatoes, biscuits, cookies, pizzas, brownies, muffins etc. are all a part of our diet. They are all baked using LPG fired ovens directly or indirectly via heat exchangers. In direct baking gas ovens, heat that is gradually transferred from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to the centre. As heating carries on, it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm dry crust and a softer centre. In indirect heating, the baking chamber is indirectly heated from above and below by the thermal radiation generated by high-temperature rows of steel tubes/ducts (exchangers). The tubes/ducts, which run the length of the oven, are first heated by hot air and combustion gases flowing inside of them  

Beverages

Whether it is coffee, tea, wine, whiskey, brandy, beer or any of your favorites, gas is used right from its production to its consumption.
 

Tea: Tea gardens require a clean and fresh atmosphere for cultivation. Gas being a clean source of energy is the most preferred choice. Gas is being used for processes like:
Wilting: Withering is used to remove excess water from the leaves and allows a very slight amount of oxidation.
Oxidation: For teas that require oxidation, the leaves are left on their own in a climate-controlled room where they turn progressively darker. Kill-Green: This process is accomplished by moderately heating tea leaves, thus deactivating their oxidative enzymes and removing unwanted scents in the leaves, without damaging the flavour of the tea
Sweltering: Unique to yellow teas, warm and damp tea leaves from after kill-green are allowed to be lightly heated, which causes the previously green leaves to turn yellow.
Drying: It is done to “finish” the tea for sale.
 

Coffee: Coffee is a major international commodity. Drying and roasting of the beans are most important operations as they affect a bean’s aroma, flavour and acidity. Use of gas makes it possible to provide both control and uniformity throughout the drying process thus, giving superior quality beans as the output. It allows flame modulation which results in better efficiency and savings. The most common roasting machines are: Drum: LPG heats the drum. Green beans inside the drum get roasted due to the heat. Specially designed stirring vanes inside the drum provide the beans with homogenous heat transfer. Roasting cycle inside the drum is checked by sampling spoon, sight glass and heat control system. Hot – Air: Air is heated inside the roaster or in a combustion chamber outside the roaster. The drum is not in direct contact with flames.
