 The
first Aral fuel service station with conductive plastic KPS piping has
now been installed in the Hamburg area. This represents a break-through
for KPS piping systems in the German market. Other key fuel brands are
expected to introduce plastic piping into the German fuel retail
network.
All of the piping, including ventilation and vapor recovery are made with double wall conductive HDPE piping from KPS. The Hamburg fuel service station has three fuel dispenser islands with 5 different fuels available at each dispenser.
The installation was made by installers from Tokheim/Göhler and Niedergesäss. Plastic piping is new to the German market and care is taken to support installers and designers during the introduction phase. The pipe installers at this fuel service station have all received training and been certified for installation of the KPS Petrol Pipe System™.
Christian Niejahr and Ronald Pinka from KPS were on site during the installation. The KPS design team with Ružica Optrkić-Radoman and Ronald Pinka has also been involved in making the pipe design and layout.
