PEI Publishes Vapor Recovery Document [1]
Submitted by jessica on
The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) has announced that the Recommended Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle Fueling Sites (PEI/RP300) is now available for purchase.
The document, produced by the PEI Vapor-Recovery Installation Committee, provides a basic reference that focuses on vapor-recovery systems located at vehicle-fueling facilities. The revised document is expanded to include a chapter on decommissioning Stage II equipment and recent revisions by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to the vapor-recovery testing procedures. RP300-09 supersedes and replaces all previously published versions.
The Recommended Practices contains chapters, drawings and photographs on all phases of proper vapor-recovery equipment installation and testing along with a chapter of definitions. Included are chapters covering Stage I and Stage II vapor-recovery systems, Stage II vapor-recovery system components, aboveground and underground piping and fittings, pressure decay testing, dynamic back pressure testing, air-to-liquid volume ratio testing, electrical installation, testing, inspection, documentation and training.
The single-copy price for RP300 is $40 for PEI members or $95 for nonmembers. The Recommended Practices can be purchased by visiting www.pei.org/RP300.
Other PEI recommended practices publications currently available include Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems (RP100); Installation of Aboveground Storage Systems (RP200); Testing Electrical Continuity of Fuel-Dispensing Hanging Hardware (RP400); Inspection and Maintenance of Motor Fuel Dispensing Equipment (RP500); Overfill Prevention for Aboveground Storage Tanks (RP600); Design and Maintenance of Fluid-Distribution Systems (RP700); Installation of Bulk Storage Plants (RP800); and the Inspection and Maintenance of UST Systems (RP900). Recommended practice documents on the Installation of Marina-Fueling Systems (RP1000) and the Storage and Dispensing of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (RP1100) will be released in January 2010.
