VS Refiner is a unique new system developed by leading petroleum downstream experts saving money and the environment.
The VS Refiner system recovers instantly re-saleable petrol/gasoline and returns it to the storage tanks via a meter during tanker deliveries. The VS Refiner system represents a huge reduction in potential capital costs to bring a network into environmental compliance.
The unique system recovers the vapours which are continually
evaporating from fuel stored in tanks at service stations and
converts them back into petrol which is then returned to the storage
tanks. This process can save up to 0.25 % in potentially lost fuel and
profits.
This becomes a very significant amount when you look at annual fuel
deliveries. Given current European fuel prices this can be worth
between €12700 (£10,000) for a delivery of 4m litres and €38000
(£30,000) a year for an annual delivery of 12m litres – and that’s
straight back onto the bottom line.
VS Refiner is now being adopted in the UK and European networks.
The company is currently in detailed discussions with 2 major chains,
one in France and one in the UK . The UK chain stands to save
£3.2 million a year ( at current petrol prices ) by adopting the system.
Outside of Europe, test sites and negotiations are taking place in Asia
and the Middle East. Vapasava’s Managing Director, says: “We have
been quite overwhelmed by the level of interest shown. We have not
formally launched the product yet word seems to have gone around pretty
fast. I suspect it is simply a question of the right product becoming
available at the right time”
