A fuel storage and supply arrangement serves as a source of fuel to be dispensed via at least one fuel dispenser in a fuel dispensing environment. The arrangement comprises a storage tank for containing a quantity of the fuel. A pump assembly draws the fuel from the storage tank providing the fuel under pressure to a fuel supply line. A fuel conditioning assembly includes a housing having a storage volume, a housing inlet receiving the fuel under pressure created by the pump assembly, a housing outlet through which fuel exits the housing, and a housing port through which fuel can be drawn into the housing. A vacuum source in fluid communication with the housing outlet is operative to selectively apply a vacuum to the outlet of the housing so that liquid can be drawn into the housing via the port. A water intake device is in fluid communication with the housing port. The water intake device has at least one inlet situated adjacent to a bottom of the fuel storage tank.

The invention relates to a retaining apparatus (1) having a filter element (3) in a fluid line (2) which can be flowed through in a flow direction (V) by a fluid (F) comprising a foreign fluid (X), having a volume flow control apparatus (5) by way of which the volume flow (S) through the fluid line (2) can be controlled, having a sensor device (6) by way of which the fraction of foreign fluid (X) in the fluid (F) can be determined, and having a control device (7) by way of which the volume flow (S) can be controlled by way of the volume flow control apparatus (5) in a manner dependent on the fraction of foreign fluid (X) in the fluid (F) as determined by way of the sensor device (6). The invention furthermore relates to a fuel tank filling installation having said retaining apparatus, and to a method for retaining foreign fluid from a fluid.

A portable pump and fuel containment system includes a portable base assembly including a lower support and wheels, a container on the lower support including an interior volume and inlet and outlet ports in fluid communication with the interior volume, and a liquid transfer assembly coupled to the portable base assembly. The liquid transfer assembly includes a pump, a three-way control valve, a flexible transfer line having a first transfer line segment coupled to a first inlet of the three-way control valve and a second transfer line segment extending from the outlet port to a second inlet of the three-way control valve, and a flexible return line having a first end coupled to the outlet of the pump and a second end detachably coupled to the inlet port of the container. An outlet of the three-way control valve is connected to an inlet of the pump.

A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a fuel delivery system to limit acidic corrosion. An exemplary control system includes a controller, at least one monitor, an output, and a remediation system. The monitor of the control system may collect and analyze data indicative of a corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. The output of the control system may automatically warn an operator of the fueling station of the corrosive environment so that the operator can take preventative or corrective action. The remediation system of the control system may take at least one corrective action to remediate the corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. One or more sensors may be employed to signal proper operation of the remediation system.

The invention provides a shut-off valve (10) for a hydrocarbon liquid or fuel intake. The valve includes a first float body (14) configured to float at the surface of hydrocarbon fuel (15), a fuel intake (16) located on the first float (14) and positioned such that the intake (16) is below the surface of the fuel (15), in use, and a second float body (18) configured to float on water (20) and sink in hydrocarbon fuel (15) such that the body (18) floats at an interface of hydrocarbon fuel (15) and water (20) phases, in use. A closing means (24) is located on the second float (18) for closing or restricting the fuel intake (16) when the first float (14) and second float (18) are in contact or in close proximity and further includes a guide arrangement (26) for guiding the first and second float (14, 18) towards each other as the surface of the hydrocarbon fuel (15) approaches the fuel water interface.

A drop-in treatment apparatus and system for PFAS-impacted liquids. The drop-in treatment apparatus and system may comprise one or more cartridges having a plurality openings; one or more mesh containers disposed within the one or more cartridges; one or more tethers; a submersible pump coupled to the cartridges via the tethers; and a power source electrically coupled to the submersible pump. The drop-in treatment apparatus may further comprise a plurality of prescribed masses of sorbent or resin filled within the mesh containers, such that the prescribed masses of sorbent or resin are disposed within the cartridges. The prescribed masses of sorbent or resin may be configured to remove PFAS compounds from a liquid and may be in the range of 0.1-50,000 milligrams per milliliter of liquid volume to be treated. The sorbent may be pyrogenic carbon, granular activated carbon, biochar, zeolite, aluminosilicates, and combinations thereof.

A fuel dispenser comprising fuel flow piping defining a flow path from a source of fuel toward a fueling nozzle. The fuel flow piping further has a filter manifold for mounting a fuel filter thereon. A plurality of fuel handling components are disposed along the fuel flow piping. A sensor device is mounted to the filter manifold, the sensor device having at least one sensor operative to detect a sensed condition related to the fuel dispenser. The sensor device further comprises electronics to transmit a signal related to the sensed condition.
