Propane is also a key factor to consider in industry. Propane would be useful for powering machining technology and motor vehicles. But propane’s molecular properties don’t just act as a fuel source in this setting. In the case of chemical engineering, propane is also utilized as a resource that can go into various goods and materials such as synthetic fabrics, cleaning products, plastics, and even cosmetics. 

Propane has dozens of commercial applications as an energy-efficient and clean-burning fuel. Four of the most common commercial propane uses include metal melting and standby generators.  

 METAL MELTING 

Propane can burn at extremely high temperatures of up to 1,980 degrees Celsius. It’s the most common form of LPG used by manufacturers in the metal burning process for aluminum, Monel, brass, bronze and many other metals. The manufacturers use propane in the stationery and tilting crucible furnaces. The gas is also helpful for melting jewelry like gold and silver in the furnace.  

STANDBY GENERATORS 

A propane standby generator is always ready in an emergency and automatically kicks in when the power goes out. Propane is easy and safe to store as a reliable fuel source, and it is a more efficient form of fuel than natural gas. You can have the propane tie into the primary propane tank at your business or have a separate, dedicated propane tank for your generator.
