Combating Rising Propane Costs With EndoGreen®
Obstacle
Peace Tree Farms was facing variable and rising propane prices in Kintnersville, PA area. With an average annual consumption of nearly 70K gallons, the vast majority of gas spend at Peace Tree Farm is via water fed boilers. Therefore, in an industry where labor costs and energy spend dominate company overhead, discovering cost savings measures through improvements in heat transfer efficiency remained lucrative.
Solution
Peace Tree Farm is heated primarily using propane via (2) boilers and several stand-alone space heaters. Historical propane consumption was monitored and normalized to heating degree day (HDD). EndoGreen® was installed on site in December of 2019. The goal was to yield a 10-15% consumption savings on boiler use for space heating. The project also included treatment for corrosion control.
We have noticed better heating since the EndoGreen® install.
