  "90% PROPANE 100% OF THE TIME"

        

PROPANE: THE HIDDEN HISTORY

PART I

INTRODUCTING THE TWO KINDS OF PROPANE

 

   There is only one chemical that is propane: C3H8, found in nature, bound up with natural gas. In 1932, the Gas Processors' Association published a standard for propane, GPA 2140, that has been the standard ever since. This standard requires that the propane that is drawn out of the "raw make," the natural gas that comes from the ground, be tested, and that the material tested be at least 90% chemical propane and no more than 5% propylene and no more than 5% other gases, including ethane and butane. Gas processors have strictly adhered to this standard, because the only way they have to transport the gas is over "common carrier" pipelines, that require that every customer of the pipeline have equal access to the pipeline. Because of the length of time it takes to pump propane from Texas to where it used in the Midwest and Eastern Seaboard, customers would have to wait days and even weeks for the gas they bought in Texas, where the propane is stored, to arrive at the terminals where they picked it up. In the middle of winter, such a system would never work. To solve the problem, the gas transporters made the propane "fungible:" all the propane would be identical, so that the gas a customer picked up in Pennsylvania was identical to the gas stored in Texas. To make all the gas identical, the transporters required that all the propane be HD5 propane, and they tested it to make sure that all the propane that went into their pipeline began as HD5 and remained HD5 so long as it was in their pipelines. Homeowners benefited from this business requirement with access to pure HD5 propane.

         By contrast, since 1975, oil refineries were able to take advantage of the definition of propane in the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standard, ASTM Standard D1835, to market oil refining "odds and ends," known by chemical engineers as "slop," because they could claim that the slop fit the definition of "commercial grade" propane: any hydrocarbon mixture that held a flame. Such a hydrocarbon mixture need not contain a single molecule of chemical propane, and could contain any poison that came out the top of a refinery column. This slop used to be flared off, simply to pollute the air. But when the sulfur was taken out, beginning in 1971, the refineries saw how they could profit from this waste product by selling it to their allies, the publicly-traded major propane marketers, who would drastically mark it up and sell it to house holders as propane. This slop is marketed throughout the Midwest and East, wherever the marketers can reach, as propane.

  

 

LEASE A TANK FROM US FOR A DOLLAR A YEAR!

         Thrifty Propane now offers an easier way to get the benefits of pure HD5 propane with a tank lease that costs only $1.00 a year! When you lease a tank from Thrifty Propane you get the benefits of pure HD5 propane without owning your tank: here is how it works: lease the tank for $1.00 a year, which you pay with your first fill. So long as you use at least one and one-half (1�) times the tank's capacity within 365 days of your installation, the lease fee is only a dollar per year. If you use less, you will be billed only for the gallons that below that minimum usage, at a dollar per gallon. For example, if your minimum usage was 750 gallons and you purchased 700 gallons, your additional fee will be $50. Our representatives will help you choose the correct tank size to avoid this charge. If you own your home and have a credit card, this is the perfect home heat solution: once the tank is in place, you can lease-purchase the tank or purchase it outright at any time.  Why make do with fuel that may not have a single drop of propane when you can get 90% propane 100% of the time for a dollar a year from Thrifty Propane?
