FE Petro is pleased to introduce the first <br />significant advancement in submersible pump <br />technology since Franklin Electric, FE Petro's <br />corporate parent, engineered the first <br />submersible motor for use in underground <br />storage tanks back in the mid 1950's. Essentially, <br />this original motor design is still in use today. <br />The FE Petro Intelligent Submersible Turbine <br />(IST) utilizes a Variable Frequency Controller to <br />CONSTANT FLOW: <br />Provides constant flow for up to 8 nozzles at a <br />predetermined flow rate set at installation. <br />Constant flow means faster fueling times during <br />those daily peak business periods. <br />MEETS EPA "SPITBACK" CONTROL: <br />From January 1 <br />1996, the EPA <br />requires a maximum <br />flow rate per nozzle <br />of 10 GPM. The IST <br />meets this require- <br />ment with a one <br />time investment. To <br />comply, the maxi- <br />mum flow rate for <br />one nozzle is adjust- <br />ed <br />djusted to a maximum of <br />10 GPM. The IST will <br />provide a constant <br />flow rate for up to 8 <br />nozzles operating <br />simultaneously. <br />EPA mandated "Spitback" control is met by the <br />IST with a simple adjustment during installation. <br />Invest in "Spitback" control one time with <br />the IST. <br />monitor the pumping demand at the station <br />forecourt. By varying the RPM of the motor, the <br />pumping rate is controlled to maintain a constant <br />flow rate at the dispenser nozzle. This, combined <br />with additional "Intelligence" provides advantages <br />not previously available from any submersible <br />pumping unit. <br />Consider these specific features of the IST for <br />your retail operations: <br />DRY RUNNING <br />Since the IST monitors the <br />power consumption of the <br />motor, the Variable <br />Frequency Controller <br />turns the pump off upon <br />the tank being pumped <br />empty. The controller sig- <br />nals the dry running con- <br />dition as well as others. <br />PROTECTION: <br />Mgt <br />Dry running is eliminated with the IST. The <br />result is less bearing wear, and longer motor life. <br />VARIABLE LENGTH: <br />Finally, one pump that fits 94% of all known <br />tank diameters and tank bury depth <br />combinations. Two other model <br />lengths are available to handle <br />installations shorter or longer <br />than this range. The tele- <br />scoping connection is <br />patent pending by <br />FE Petro. <br />Pump length is set at the job site by making one <br />simple measurement and setting the pump <br />length. All in about 20 minutes and without <br />affecting the UL listing of the pump. <br />
