What is BS EN 16321-1 - Efficiency assessment of petrol vapour recovery systems about?
BS EN 16321-1 specifies the measurement and test methods for the efficiency assessment of petrol vapour recovery systems for service stations (Stage II).
Who is BS EN 16321-1 - Efficiency assessment of petrol vapour recovery systems?
BS EN 16321-1 on efficiency assessment of petrol vapour recovery systems is useful for:
- Petroleum industry
- Automotive industry
- Operators of petrol vapour recovery systems
- Gas stations
- Efficiency assessment agencies
- EIA bodies
Why should you use BS EN 16321-1 - Efficiency assessment of petrol vapour recovery systems?
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in gasoline evaporate in storage tanks. Petrol vapour in the tank will be displaced by incoming petrol during offloading of petrol to an underground storage tank or refuelling of a vehicle. The petrol vapour will disperse into the atmosphere unless it is controlled. VOCs from gas stations have a lot of negative impacts. It is very essential to ensure the efficiency of petrol vapor recovery systems.
BS EN 16321-1 provides you with performance characteristics of petrol vapour recovery system to ensure efficiency, proportionality and petrol vapour ratio are in the specified range.
BS EN 16321-1 allows you to measure and test the assessment of petrol vapour recovery systems at service stations.
BS EN 16321-1 helps you to determine of the basic emission and the residual emission. The basic emission shall be measured with the petrol vapour recovery system switched off and the residual emission with the petrol vapour recovery system switched on.
BS EN 16321-1 also guides you on environmental aspects and certification of vapour recovery system.
