Measurement and testing

Legislation to install Vapour recovery stage 2 systems on retail forecourts has been introduced in many countries globally. The requirements for Vapour Recovery Equipment Performance for the installed base are similar, and either manual or automatic monitoring of the systems are mandatory.
If a retailer decides to operate sites by employing a third-party conducting manual performance control twice a year, the operational costs of such services will quickly become uneconomical in comparison with a one-time installation of an automatic monitoring system. A site with an Automatic Monitoring System will need much lower control frequencies and costs.
The Fafnir (Germany) Vapour Recovery Monitoring System Vaporix is the most installed system worldwide. Over the past 7 years, more than 70,000 Vaporix sensors have demonstrated exceptional reliability with a MTTF (mean time to failure) of more than 100 years. The system is universal and can easily be installed in all known dispenser brands.
