Aboveground Storage Tanks Vapor Recovery

aboveground storage tanks

ARB has developed Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR) standards for vapor recovery systems using Aboveground Gasoline Storage Tanks (AST).  On May 2, 2008 the Board approved Certification Procedure CP-206, which describes the procedure for evaluating and certifying ASTs, Standing Loss Control, Phase I and Phase II vapor recovery systems, and components used at Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (GDF). At the same time Test Procedures TP-206.1, TP-206.2, and TP-206.3 were certified in regards to determining compliance with AST EVR system performance standards.



EO VR-301-A: Certification of OPW, Modern Custom Fabrication, and Steel Tank Institute as standing loss control vapor recovery systems for existing AST installations. IOM for existing ASTs.

EO VR-302-A: Certification of Modern Custom Fabrication, and Steel Tank Institute for standing loss control vapor recovery systems for new AST installations. IOM for new ASTs.
