Onerous new regulations for the Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale industry proposed by the state Dept. of Environmental Protection. The new regs will, according to the DEP, help PA reduce so-called fugitive methane emissions and some types of air pollution (VOCs). This is liberal Gov. Tom Wolf's way of addressing mythical man-made global warming.
Cryogenic Vessel Alternatives' Kegan Kavander and Emerson's Nicole Rundlett won the best of conference presentation in the Instrumentation Flow track at the 2011 Emerson Exchange conference in Nashville, TN USA.
Their abstract: The LNG market has increased dramatically over the past several years, and developing systems to handle custody transfer transactions in remote areas is a key to the market's success. Cryogenic Vessel Alternatives has developed an LNG dispensing trailer which allows for the transport and eventual sale of LNG to remote areas.
Accurate metering of the LNG is facilitated through the use of a Micro Motion CMF100 which has been designed specifically for cryogenic applications. Using the sensor's diagnostics, customers are ensured of being billed for LNG in an all liquid state.
This Clean Cities webinar is an overview of the processes of converting a vehicle to CNG & LPG and the need to use a qualified installer. We had speakers from the Gas Technology Institute in Illinois who will gave an overview of the guidelines to inspect CNG and LPG vehicle conversions. Also, American Power Group, ROUSH CleanTech, and Barnes, Inc. covererd the conversion kits and processes of installing them.
In this presentation we have discussed about the standards that will be used in a Petrol Pump Design.

Factors Leading to Implementation
September 13, 20162
3. • New infrastructure regulations established in International Fire
Code 3406.5.1.10-3406.5.1.10.1
• 3406.5.1.10 Bottom Loading:
• When bottom loading a tank vehicle or tank car with or without vapor control, a
positive means shall be provided for loading with an automatic secondary shutoff
control to prevent overfill. The connecting components between transfer equipment
and the tank vehicle or tank car required to operate the secondary control shall be
functionally compatible.
Spillage is prevented when filling a bottom-loading tank vehicle by using a loading
system that loads a predetermined quantity of flammable or combustible liquid. An
automatic secondary shutoff control valve is required for a bottom-loading tank
vehicle.
• 3406.5.1.10.1 Dry Disconnect Coupling:
• When bottom loading a tank vehicle, the coupling between the liquid loading hose or
pipe and the truck piping shall be a dry disconnect coupling.
To prevent spillage when disconnecting the dispensing system from the bottom-loading
vehicle, the system is to use a dry connection.

COPA Operator side in the event of a malfunction.
September 13, 201616
18. • 2014 Conoco Phillips – corrective action requiring all new tankers be
equipped with overfill protection.
• Two (2) in the construction phase had a mid-build request to add
overfill protection that would shutdown the pony motor.
• Fluid movement was not taken into account.
• During transport the pony motors would shutdown. Fleet services would dispatch
a mechanic for heat & start.
• The shutdown systems were left intact by Conoco Phillips request.
• The field solution has been fills the two units with less fluid.
• 2015-2016 two (2) different systems were evaluated in Alpine.
• One Titan Logix® on the new 238BBL Diesel Transport
• One See-Level™ on the Refurbished 325BBL Rig Water Vac Trailer.

24. In Closing – New Technology Opportunities
• With new technology comes the opportunity for continuous business
improvements. We must keep this in mind during all stages of design
for our infrastructure and core equipment.
• Learn from perceived failures and seize the opportunities to learn and
adapt. Some times the answer is right in front of us.
• Alpine introduced Over-Fill Warning Systems to the field in 2010, but failed to
research the technology for all Tankers/100BBL Trucks.
• By 2014 personal changes allowed this system to be forgotten and research had
to be repeated.
September 13, 201624
25. In Closing – Learn and Adapt
• The Titan Logix® system has proven to be a more reliable system.
• The SeeLevel™ Gauge has limitations due to design as a float gauge.
• Fluid movement in tank allows float to active Overfill Warning during transport.
• Dependent on the cleanliness of the 325BBL Vac Trailer Alpine has experienced
floats sticking and not measuring fluid levels correctly.
