(10,201 posts)Also during that 50 year span of time, they did not have tank sensors, leak detection systems, variable speed turbines, credit card terminals, blenders, etc... Most of these items (Blenders, VSTs, TLS, Leak Detections, Sensors, Probes and Alarms) are all required in our DEP regulations. These things are great and serve to protect the environment and they work great. The problem is that they all require massive amounts of electricity.
It is against the law to manually pump gas out of the ground without monitoring it. The new systems will not allow gas to flow unless all of the monitoring systems are in place and operational.
So again I ask... What does it take to run the following?
4 - MAG VFC terminals
4 - Variable Speed Turbines (hell I'll let you pick the horsepower)
12 - Wayne Ovation iX dispensers
1 - Incon TLS with all of the related probes, sensors and alarm panels.
1 - Square D Brown Box
1 - Allied Site Controller
1 - Back Office Server
2 - POS Systems
1 - Network Routing Equipment
1 - All of the site lighting and traffic control signage
