Presentation Transcript

  1. Vapor recovery, vacuums and you Heather Peters, Environmental Specialist

  2. How is the vacuum created? • Tanks are “tight” • Product is dispensed • No air ingress or vapor return

  3. Vacuum and the Drop Tube • The “stick reading” at the drop tube may not be accurate! • Are you sticking your tanks for SIR? • Compare to the ATG product level • ‘Equalize’ the tank

  4. Vacuum and the ATG • With vacuum, same amount of product but “level” is higher • CSLD uses data over time • Some data: • Under vacuum (reads high) • Not under vacuum (reads normal/lower)

  5. Is this happening in all of my tanks? • High throughput • “Tight” tanks • P/V valve not functioning • P/V valve cracking under greater vacuum

  6. Are my tests valid? • Static testing should be okay • Standard tank tests with ATG • Tank tightness tests • No reports of problems with interstitial monitoring and double wall tanks
