Description: 

Regulations regarding environmental testing have focused attention on the need for verification of containment sump integrity. Specifically the focus is on the containment sumps used in fuel distribution sites. Within these facilities sumps generally fall into three categories:

1) those used under dispensing apparatus,

2) those used above underground storage tanks and incorporating a submersible pump, and

3) those used above underground storage tanks and incorporating fuel transfer or vapor recovery equipment. The S-300 Sump Testing System provides a user friendly and cost effective means of verifying sump integrity.

Benefits: 

  • User Friendly

  • Cost Effective

  • Accurate

  • Timely testing and validation

  • Safe voltage source

  • Fast testing times

Features: 
The S-300 incorporates features which facilitate timely sump testing and validation:

  • Volumetric leak detection with gallon per hour leak rate reporting
  • Accurately test sumps from one to thirteen square feet in surface area
  • Fast testing times: typically 15 minutes for sumps up to 13 square feet in surface area
  • Uses replacement volume method; does not require knowledge of sump volume characteristics
  • Automatically compensates for sump deformation caused by test media loading
  • Automatically compensates for thermal variations in the test media
  • Intrinsically safe probe voltage source
  • Battery operated; charging system provided
  • Battery powered field printer available
Specifications: 
The method of containment sump validation is summarized in four statements:

  • With the sump containing a test media, establish the beginning conditions of the test.
  • Let the sump remain undisturbed for the period of the test.
  • At the end of the test time, reestablish the conditions present at the beginning of the test.
  • Given the accumulated time that the sump was under test and the given volume of media required to reestablish the beginning conditions, calculate the leak rate using the formula:
    Leak Rate = (Replaced Volume) / (Total Test Time)
