Benefits |
| Low initial cost. Less than 1-2% of typical outlet construction costs. Similar cost as new Multiple product dispenser (MPD). |
High return on investment (15-95%) and short pay back period depending on site-specific factors. |
- High hydrocarbon vapor recovery efficiency (>99%) without wasting natural resources or generating secondary air pollution.
- Allows vacuum-assisted systems to operate with higher (V/L) ratios and to achieve higher collection efficiencies at the nozzle/automobile interface.
|
Environmentally Friendly - exceeds current federal, state, and local emission requirements. Provides consumer and environmental protection, while at the same time recovering salable product. |
| Retrofits both uncontrolled and Stage II compliant refueling facility. |
Can be installed in any existing refueling facility:
- Allows uncontrolled dispensing facilities to avoid large evaporative losses as storage tanks ingest air from vent lines.
- Allows dispensing facilities using balance or vacuum assisted systems to avoid large evaporative losses as the ORVR vehicle population increases.
|
| Unique membrane technology that selectively recovers toxic compounds such as benzene, toluene and MTBE. |
Membrane vapor recovery eliminates evaporative losses of VOC’s and hazardous air pollutants (HAP’s) by converting them into useable product. |
| Elegant, compact, durable design. |
Easy installation with little or no excavation. |
| Safe solution for variable vapor concentrations generated by ORVR equipment on new cars.* |
Eliminates the potential for increased vapor emissions as the population of ORVR vehicles dramatically increases over the next 10 years. |
- Simple operation since membrane module has no moving parts.
- Energy efficient -- no phase changes are involved in the separation because all streams enter and exit the system in the vapor phase.
|
Very low operating costs. $25-$60/month
Reduces MTBE contamination in ground water by lowering the fugitive underground vapor emissions |
