Propane has a narrow range of flammability when compared with other petroleum products. In order to ignite, the propane/air mix must contain from 2.2 to 9.6 percent propane vapor. If the mixture contains less than 2.2 percent gas, it is too lean to burn. If it contains more than 9.6 percent, it is too rich to burn.

TECHNOLOGIES


The propane industry invests in new technologies and fosters industry practices that  bring innovative products and services to customers, improve the productivity and economic vitality of the industry and provide greater value to propane customers.  The Propane Education & Research Council receives funding by an assessment or “check-off” on each gallon of odorized propane gas, and redistributes these resources to fund programs and projects that enhance the future of propane technology and the industry as a whole.

 Areas of focus include:

  • Agriculture Technologies
  • Distributed Power Generation
  • Distribution and Production
  • Engine Fuel
  • Fuel Studies
  • Storage
  • Thermally Activated Technologies
  • Planning and Collaboration

Additional information about research and development activities and funding information, including descriptions of current projects, is available on the Propane Education & Council’s R&D website: www.propanetechnology.com.
