UNDERSTANDING THE USE OF GAS MIXTURES
Understanding the combined effect of both propane and oxygen in the use of the
Rodenator ProTM is very important.
The Rodenator ProTM uses a proprietary method to proportion, compress and inject the
gas mixture into the tunnels of burrowing animals. The mixture of gases are at a rate of
less than 2% liquefied propane gas (LPG) and 98% compressed oxygen (O
2
).
This mixture produces a compressed ratio of propane and oxygen at a consistent
measured pressure into the tunnel system. Upon combustion, the resulting concussive
shockwave travels throughout the tunnel system at over 10,000 psi.
The resulting massive concussion is sufficient to humanely exterminate the targeted pest.
The combustion of LPG and Oxygen produces carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and water
vapor and is non-toxic to the environment.
Liquefied Propane Gas - (LPG)
• Propane is a highly flammable gas. It is heavier than air, which gives the mixture
added weight for better tunnel penetration and to assist the oxygen in the process of
rapid expansion.
• Always maintain proper regulator and torch valve settings as excessive propane
creates a potential fire hazard and slows down the shock wave, resulting in a fire.
FIRE HAZARD
Liquefied Propane Gas (LPG) is a highly flammable gas vapor that produces an
explosive mixture with air and will easily ignite by heat, sparks, flames, build-up of
static electricity, and other sources of ignition. Do not smoke or use electrically
operated devices while connecting and/or operating this device. Propane vapor is
denser than air and may flow along the ground, sinking to the lowest level of the
surroundings and can be ignited at a considerable distance from the source of
leakage.
