Propane Response – 101 to Advanced Tactics for Small to Large Volume Incidents

The “Propane Response – 101 to Advanced Tactics” class consists of classroom instruction using on screen presentations, display props and product demonstrations. Topics of discussion include propane properties, when and when not to use some tactical options including rolling/inverting a tank, flaring liquid and vapor, water injection, vehicle orientation, plumbing/piping systems, assortment of tank options/attachment points, valving, weight issues, pressure management, transportation options, pressure gauge verification, liquid volume, and temperature control and more.
The students will participate in on scene operations on an assortment of tanks or cylinders that we supply that include, identifying tank volume, liquid and vapor flaring and the use of water as a tactical option.
Using our one-of-a-kind mobile training prop students will see firsthand the limitations caused by system restrictions, the importance of managing product levels and how temperature and pressure information is applied. Flaring Propane with full 1-inch flows allows the student real world incident experience.
Students will be provided the opportunity to use what was learned in the classroom to connect and manage a response on small and larger propane tanks with up to 2″ flow capacities utilizing multiple tactical options that include: Venting to atmosphere, Freeze Patching, Liquid and Vapor flaring, Water Injection and more.
