Petrogen fuel is ordinary gasoline, available at any gasoline station in the world.  You will always have a ready supply of fuel for cutting.

The Petrogen torch is the cheapest for you to operate, and can actually pay for itself many times over each year.

Our systems have an extremely long life cycle, remaining in service
for decades.  The initial purchase just keeps on saving time and
money for many years to come.





Savings in the Fuel
In the Petrogen system, 2.5 gallons of gasoline will cut as much steel as 250 cubic feet of acetylene!  A steady cutting job can easily use 200 cubic feet of acetylene per day, while the same job could be done with 2 gallons of regular gasoline, plus your usual oxygen. That's about $8.00 worth of cutting fuel compared to $90 to $130 for acetylene.  Petrogen works with any type of gasoline, even 10% ethanol fuel.

Savings in Tip Life
Petrogen tips never clog.  The Petrogen flame oxidizes all steel, and no molten steel means no clogged tips.  With a little care, a Petrogen tip can last for years.  Acetylene tips are clogged by molten steel.  An operator can lose 2 tips per week.  In a year that can cost over $1,000.

Savings Through Increased Productivity
Acetylene outperforms propane, but gasoline far outperforms acetylene.  High performance means more work done in less time.  That's money in the bank.  Because of Petrogen's unequaled performance, Petrogen can make the different between doing the job easily and not doint it at all.  The money saved here can vary depending on the job, but it will always be significant.

Savings in Oxygen Consumption
Switching from acetylene to propane saves fuel costs but increases oxygen consumption over 30%.  With Petrogen there is no increase in oxygen use, and the work gets done much faster. 

* Petrogen operates with PSA oxygen of 90% purity without loss of performance,
and works with as low as 80% purity with reduced efficiency.  Other torches require
99% purity.
