311 Gasoline Vapor Recovery Technology at the Gas Station
Details
Gasoline vapor emissions in gas stations are regulated by the revised air pollution control law. Tatsuno Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation have developed a gasoline recovery technology and unit which intakes and liquefies the gasoline vapor leaked from the car fuel tanks while refueling. It has been confirmed that our targeted values: exhaust concentration below 2 vol% and gasoline vapor recovery rate exceeding 90 %, are achieved by compression, cooling and adsorption processes. The field test machine stably worked for one year with an average recover rate of 0.1 % or more. The sales of gasoline vapor recovery unit for the petrol dispensing pump are scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2009.
