Sydney, Australia - July 27th, 2009- Gilbarco Veeder-Root has provided the Australian Petroleum Industry with the first TUV (Recognised German International Certification Organisation) approved Vapour Recovery Stage II (VRII) monitoring and collection system. This system is installed at a retail petroleum site in Sydney and meets the requirements of the vapour monitoring legislation proposed by the NSW Government Department of Climate and Change (DECC). The legislation is being considered by Parliament now and is expected to be approved shortly.

“The newly installed system has the necessary approvals for the Collection and Monitoring of petrol vapours that the NSW Government’s DECC is proposing to implement in 2010”, says Victor Turner, Managing Director of Gilbarco Veeder-Root, Australia / New Zealand. “The system and components have been jointly developed by our affiliates in Europe and the USA where they have been at the forefront of this technology for decades.  The collaboration between the many Gilbarco Veeder-Root global affiliates is a testament to our ability to deliver quality products and world class support to our local customers.”

“Due to our long-standing involvement and experience in providing a VRII solution, we have been able to provide a solution that is reliable and does not have a single point of failure, which can be retrofitted to any dispenser, regardless of brand, or can be customized in our factory,” comments Peter Richards, National Sales Manager for Gilbarco-Veeder-Root, Australia.

To view the site at any time, the VRII site is being remotely monitored by Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s Fuel Management Service Centre. They provide real time site data that is available online to the site owner/operator. If there is an alarm, the Fuel Management Service centre automatically alerts the customer and/or the service contractor so they can follow up on the alarm. Peter Richards points out that Gilbarco Veeder-Root has developed different remote monitoring platforms to suit each customer’s business need for reporting and meeting proposed compliance requirements set out by the DECC.
