| INTELLIGENT
SUBMERSIBLE TURBINE |
IST |
FE Petro is pleased to introduce the first significant
advancement in submersible pump technology since Franklin Electric, FE Petro's corporate
parent, engineered the first submersible motor for use in underground storage tanks back
in the mid 1950's. Essentially, this original motor design is still in use today.
The FE Petro Intelligent Submersible Turbine (IST) utilizes
a Variable Frequency Controller to monitor the pumping demand at the station forecourt. By
varying the RPM of the motor, the pumping rate is controlled to maintain a constant flow
rate at the dispenser nozzle. This, combined with additional "Intelligence"
provides advantages not previously available from any submersible pumping unit.
Consider these specific features of the IST for your retail
operations:
FE
PETRO FEATURE |
CONSTANT FLOW |
Provides constant flow for up to 8 nozzles at a
predetermined flow rate set at installation. |
BENEFIT
TO YOU |
|
| Constant flow
means faster fueling times during those daily peak business periods |
|
|
FE
PETRO FEATURE |
MEETS EPA "SPITBACK"
CONTROL: |
From January 1, 1996, the EPA requires a maximum flow
rate per nozzle of 10 GPM. The IST meets this requirement with a one time investment. To
comply, the maximum flow rate for one nozzle is adjusted to a maximum of 10 GPM. The IST
will provide a constant flow rate for up to 8 nozzles operating simultaneously. |
BENEFIT
TO YOU |
|
| EPA mandated
"Spitback" control is met by the IST with a simple adjustment during
installation. Invest in "Spitback" control one time with the IST. |

PETRO FEATURE |
DRY RUNNING PROTECTION: |
Since the IST monitors the power consumption of the motor,
the Variable Frequency Controller turns the pump off upon the tank being pumped empty. The
controller signals the dry running condition as well as others. |
BENEFIT
TO YOU |
|
| Dry running is
eliminated with the IST. The result is less bearing wear, and longer motor life. |

FE
PETRO FEATURE |
VARIABLE LENGTH: |
Finally, one pump that fits 94% of all known
tank diameters and tank bury depth combinations. Two other model lengths are available to
handle installations shorter or longer than this range. The telescoping connection is
patent pending by FE petro. |
BENEFIT
TO YOU |
|
| Pump length is
set at the job site by making one simple measurement and setting the pump length. All in
about 20 minutes and without affecting the UL listing of the pump. |
