Abstract: The present invention provides a chemical container or system for storing and dispensing chemicals, and in particular liquid chemicals such as fuels and the like. The chemical container has a first container portion for storing the chemical itself, and a second container portion with a vapor filter for receiving, containing, and filtering or adsorbing gases or vapors that are associated with the chemical and which may be vented from the first container portion. This dual-chamber system avoids buildup of excessive vapor pressures inside of the containers, but filters any vented gases so that noxious or undesirable vapors are not emitted into the surrounding environment. In some embodiments, the second container portion covers only a portion of the first container portion, while in other embodiments, a second container completely surrounds a first container.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically adjusting an ORVR-compatible Stage II vapor recovery system to maintain the air-to-liquid (A/L) ratio within desired tolerances or limits to meet regulatory and/or other requirements. An air flow sensor (AFS) or vapor flow meter measures the amount of recovered vapor for a dispensing point to calculate the recovery efficiency of the system in the form of the A/L ratio. Volume or flow rate measurements can be used. ORVR fueling transactions are either minimized or excluded from the A/L ratio, so that the A/L ratio is not artificially lowered due to a blocked or altered recovery. The A/L ratio is then compared to a desired or nominal A/L ratio. Adjustments to the recovery system are made within prescribed safety tolerances if the A/L ratio differs from the desired ratio.

Abstract: In an example method for detecting the fuel quantity during the refueling of a motor vehicle, the volume of the fuel conducted to the motor vehicle during the refueling operation and the temperature of the fuel are measured. The measured volume is corrected to predetermined temperature conditions by means of the measured temperature, specifically in a monitoring unit for a gas recirculation device. Preferably, a retrofitting kit for a device for carrying out the method contains a temperature sensor and an accessory for the monitoring unit for the gas recirculation system.

Abstract: A gasoline vapor recycling system for gasoline tank includes a route control valve installed on a breathing valve piping of a gasoline tank to control change of gasoline vapor path, and a discharge processing apparatus which has an intake pipe connecting to the route control valve and a gasoline return pipe connecting to the breathing valve piping via a check valve. The discharge processing apparatus has a sensor to monitor the pressure of the saturated gasoline vapor in the gasoline tank. A control element activates a delivery unit or directly actuates the route control valve to direct the gasoline vapor that otherwise will be discharged through the breathing valve piping into the discharge processing apparatus. The gasoline vapor is processed by a compressing unit and a processing unit for separating of liquid and vapor, and purifying of the vapor. A portion of the gasoline vapor flows back to the gasoline tank via the gasoline return pipe. Another portion of the gasoline vapor is purified and discharged via a vapor discharge pipe.

Abstract: A single-point connection apparatus for a closed fluid transfer delivery system having a mobile dispense to transfers liquid from a chemical delivery vessel to a chemical-receiving device, e.g., a dry cleaning machine, with return flow of vapor therefrom to the delivery vessel. A first passage selectively connects the delivery vessel to the liquid-receiving device. Liquid is only then pumped to the liquid-receiving device. A second passage connects the receiving device to the delivery vessel for a vapor return flow. A chamber of the apparatus has a filling valve to receive a filling adapter to deliver liquid. Associated with the filling valve is a relief valve mechanism providing continuous, uninterrupted liquid flow at an increased liquid flow rate through the first passage, inhibiting backflow of liquid through the second passage for continuous, uninterrupted vapor flow from the liquid-receiving device while liquid is being received by that device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for recovering vapor during the dispensing of gasoline via a hose into a vehicle tank, according to which a turbine disposed in a vapor passage and is activated in response to the dispensing of the gasoline for drawing the vapor from the tank and into the vapor passage. Blades on the turbine separate the air from the gasoline vapor. The vapor is returned to the liquid stream and the air discharged to atmosphere. The apparatus therefore does not require vapor return piping to the underground tanks.

Abstract: A fueling environment having a vent on an underground fuel storage tank may be improved by adding a mass flow meter in conjunction with a vapor recovery membrane in a tank vent. The mass flow meter measures an amount of vapor that passes through the vent and thus allows alarms to be generated if the vapors passing through the vent exceed a predetermined level or an efficiency of the membrane drops below a predetermined threshold. Measurements from the mass flow meter may be provided to a site controller or a remote location for further analysis.
