Station components

Canopy & lighting
Shades the forecourt and lights it at night with 400 W fixtures. Above the pump islands. Canopy lighting 400 W · Air & water tower
Fuel dispenser
Meters and sells fuel. The Al Shaheen unit carries six nozzles, three per side (diesel, 91, 95). On the pump island, above the containment sump. Al Shaheen fuel dispensers · Auto nozzle – 91 · Fuel hose
Price sign
Displays fuel prices. At the station entrance. Fuel price sign
Emergency stop
Cuts power to all dispensers and pumps at once. Visible points at the forecourt and building.
Tanker unloading
The tanker discharges into the matching tank. Next to the fill points.
Station building
Holds the control room, distribution board and point of sale. Behind the forecourt.
Underground tanks
Store fuel; a double wall leaves a monitorable interstitial space. Underground, one per grade. Underground fuel storage tanks · Tank anchoring · Manhole cover 70×70 cm – 50 t
Tank anchoring
Straps and a base that stop the tank floating. Under and around the tank. Tank anchoring
Submersible pump
Pushes fuel under pressure to every dispenser on that grade. Inside the tank; head in the tank sump. Submersible turbine pump · Submersible pump control box · ProGauge Electronic Pressurized Line Leak Detection (PLLD)
Tank sump & cover
Contains leaks from fittings and gives service access. On the tank, cover at grade. Containment sumps · Entry boots · Manhole cover 70×70 cm – 50 t
Tank probe
Measures fuel level, water level and temperature. Inside the tank, vertical. ProGauge® DMP™ Magnetostrictive Probe(s) · ProGauge® DMP Flex™ Magnetostrictive Probe(s) · ProGauge™ Density Measurement Float
Double-wall product piping
Carry fuel to each dispenser; any leak runs in the outer pipe to the sump. Under the forecourt. Double / single wall fuel pipe · Polyethylene (PE) pipe · Secondary containment coil
Fittings
Elbows, tees, couplings, reducers, adapters and flanges — electrofusion or threaded. At every bend and branch. Electrofusion socket / coupler · 2-inch electrofusion elbow · Electrofusion tee
Entry boots
Seal pipes and conduits entering sumps. On sump walls. Entry boots · Penetration seals · Test boots
Flexible connectors
Absorb movement and settlement between line and equipment. Under the dispenser and at the pump head. Flexible connector
Shear valve
Closes the product line if the dispenser is hit or catches fire. Under the dispenser, in the sump. Emergency shear valve
Under-dispenser sump
Contains leaks below the dispenser; the shear valve closes the line on impact. Under each dispenser. Containment sumps · Entry boots · Emergency shear valve
Fill point & spill bucket
Fuel entry to the tank; the bucket catches drips when the hose is removed. Above each tank. Fill / drop adaptor with cap · Fill caps · Spill containers
Spill container
Catches drips when the delivery hose is removed. Around the fill point, at grade. Spill containers
Fill pipe
Carries fuel from the adapter into the tank. From the adapter to the tank top. Fill pipe / riser · Threaded couplings · Reducers
Drop tube
Takes fuel near the floor to cut vapour and static. Inside the tank. Drop tubes
Overfill prevention valve
Stops the delivery before the tank overfills. In the drop tube. Overfill prevention valves
Stage I vapour recovery
During delivery, displaced tank vapour returns to the tanker instead of venting. Next to the fill points. Stage I vapour recovery adapters · Vapour adapter caps · Vapour return piping
Vent pipes & P/V valve
Let the tank breathe; the valve limits vapour release. Vertical, beside the building. P/V vapor vent · Vent pipes & risers · Vent caps
Vent lines
Carry displaced vapour to the vent risers. From the tank tops to the vent risers. Vent pipes & risers · Polyethylene (PE) pipe
Sump sensors
Sump sensors: detect liquid; discriminating types tell fuel from water. In dispenser sumps and tank sumps. Discriminating Sump Sensor (Discriminating Dispenser Pan / STP Sump Sensor) · Non-Discriminating Dual-Float Sump Sensor · Single Level Sump Sensor – Float Switch – Large
Interstitial sensor
Detects liquid reaching the space between the walls. Between the tank walls. Interstitial Level Sensor – Small · Discriminating Interstitial Sensor - Optical · Discriminating Interstitial Sensor
Vapour sensor
Detects hydrocarbon vapour in the soil around the tank. In the dry observation well. Hydrocarbon Vapor Sensor · Discriminating Monitoring Well Sensor
Observation well
Allows checks for fuel or vapour in the soil. In the tank backfill. Observation well · Discriminating Monitoring Well Sensor
Pressurised line leak detection (PLLD)
Monitors line pressure, runs leak tests and alarms on pressure decay. On the submersible pump head. ProGauge Electronic Pressurized Line Leak Detection (PLLD) · PLLD Sensor · PLLD DAS
Nozzles & hoses
Where the customer fuels. The nozzle shuts off automatically when the tank is full. On the dispenser tower. Auto nozzle – 91 · Fuel hose · Safety breakaway coupling
Forecourt controller
Brings together communication between forecourt devices and central systems, as the project design requires. In the control-room rack. Forecourt controller
Tank gauge console (ATG)
Reads tank probes and leak sensors and raises alarms. In the control room. ProGauge MagLink LX Plus® console · ProGauge MagLink LX Ultimate® console · Automatic tank gauging system
Integration layer
Carries device data to the platform securely, as the project design requires. In the control room.
SUNDUS platform
Shows sales and tanks for all of an owner’s stations in one place. Cloud; opened from phone or desktop. Forecourt controller · Automatic tank gauging system
Pressure testing
Pressure-test lines after installation. On site, before backfill. Pressure test kits · Test plugs · Test boots
Electrofusion tools
Prepare and fuse: cut, scrape, clamp, fuse. On site. Electrofusion control units · Pipe scrapers · Pipe cutters
Measurement & calibration
Check dispenser accuracy with a prover can. At the dispenser. Volumetric prover can · Digital flow meter · Water & fuel gauging paste
