The document discusses a product called the PERMEATOR that reduces evaporative emissions and losses from gasoline storage tanks using a patented membrane system. It saves money by reducing gasoline losses and keeping the environment cleaner. Field tests confirmed it reduces evaporative emissions by over 99%. It can be installed in existing vapor recovery systems and handles increased vapor volumes without increasing emissions.

The PERMEATOR prevents the venting
of gasoline vapors (volatile organic com- pounds) and resulting product loss from gasoline storage tanks through a patented membrane. The system virtually eliminates evaporative emissions and has been proven over many years in large tank storage and refinery applications. ARID Technologies, Inc., now brings this same robust technology to the petrol station environment. Design Highlights Feature Benefits The PERMEATOR reduces the evapora- Low initial cost.
