Byproducts of Propane Combustion. (hb)

in THE MAIN WALL
Can anyone share with me what the byproducts of propane combustion are? Specifically, what does the condensate have in it. Propane makes quite a bit more condensate than natural gas, if I remember correctly, at the same exhaust temperature, but I don’t know what it is composed of. I am producing 5 gallons of condensate per day with my 11-44. Anyone help?

    If you are condensing -

    all of the water vapour - then for each cf of propane - 4 cf of water vapour would be produced. As for all the other goodies that are supplied with commerical propane - butane, methane, propylenes - it depends on your supplier. The mercaptans are in for the ride too - but we are told that they are completely consumed by the combustion process - hope this helps.
