S*1REAL <br /> California State Fire Marshal <br /> CODE INTERPRETATION <br /> Date Issued 9/01/2005 Interpretation # 05-019 <br /> Topic Healy Phase 11 enhanced vapor recovery system <br /> Code Section(s) 2001 CFC Section 223 <br /> Requested by Tom Waller <br /> Fire Marshal <br /> Oxnard Fire Dept. <br /> 251 South C St. <br /> Oxnard CA,93030 <br /> I am requesting an interpretation of the California Fire Code with respect to <br /> the Healy Phase 11 Enhanced Vapor Recovery System. The Healy Phase 11 <br /> EVR includes a vapor processor, also known as a Clean Air Separator <br /> (CAS). The CAS is 400-gallon capacity vessel that will contain gasoline and <br /> gasoline vapors during operation. The CAS has come into question as to <br /> whether it will be regulated as an above ground storage tank(AST). My <br /> request for clarification/interpretation includes the following: <br /> 1. Is the Clean Air Separator an aboveground storage tank in <br /> accordance with the California Fire Code? <br /> No. <br /> 2. If the Clean Air Separator is not an aboveground storage tank, <br /> what is it? <br /> There is no clear definition in the CFC however; U.L. has certified the unit <br /> as a 'Vapor Processing System." <br /> 3. If you call the CAS a vapor processor, or a processing vessel, <br /> what is the CFC definition of a vapor processor?Processing <br /> vessel? <br /> CFC Article 2, Section 223 best defines these as a "vapor processing <br /> unit". <br /> Z. <br />
