OPW Announces AST/UST EVR Classroom Certification and Online Recertification

evr-certification

OPW is happy to announce that technicians and contractors may now sign up online for AST/UST Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR) classroom training and certification as well as online recertification.

The classroom sessions are for technicians or contractors who have never received AST/UST EVR certification from OPW. Classroom sessions are also necessary if the OPW EVR products have incurred significant change since a technician’s last certification.

To view a schedule of upcoming classroom training sessions, and to register for a class, please see the Technical Seminar Schedule, which is located under the Tech Support tab at www.opwglobal.com.

Online recertification is also available to technicians and contractors who have been previously certified for AST or UST EVR system installation, provided that OPW’s AST/UST EVR products have not incurred significant change since the technician’s last certification.

Those qualified for online recertification can submit a request via the Online Recertification Request Form, or by visiting www.opwglobal.com and clicking "Phase 1 EVR Training" under the Tech Support menu. Technicians using the form must supply an OPW-issued Certification ID number so that previous certification can be validated. Once a request is approved, the technician will be sent links to training materials and a recertification test. Those that receive a passing grade on the online test will be emailed with confirmation of their recertification.

Note: EVR certification is mandated for California and limited areas outside California. If you are interested in training, please verify that EVR certification is required in your region before registering.

Thank you for your continued support of and loyalty to the John W. kennedy Company and OPW AST and UST products and solutions.

Regards,

Cim-Tek® Filtration’s Hydroburn PSR® Saves $Millions

CimTek - get More Out of Your Fuel!

PRESS RELEASE
from Todd Oberg, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and R&D

      In less than two years, enough Hydroburn PSR has been used to restore MORE THAN $4,000,000 worth of ethanol-blended gasoline. Using Hydroburn PSR, the average station operator can save between $19,000 and $27,000 on an underground tank containing 5,000 gallons of phase-separated fuel. Would you like to join other Hydroburn PSR users and save thousands in disposal and replacement costs?

      Phase separation in ethanol-blended fuel occurs when excessive water contaminates the fuel, bonds to the ethanol, and the ethanol-water solution sinks to the bottom of the tank, rendering the fuel unusable. Until the development of Hydroburn PSR, most station owners were forced to pump out the fuel and purchase a new tanker load…costing thousands of dollars!

      Hydroburn PSR is an easy solution to the phase separation problem. Using a simple calculation, the correct amount of Hydroburn PSR is added to the fuel and agitated…the results are immediate, restoring your fuel and your profits. Your station is back in service! And thousands of dollars are saved!

      For years, Cim-Tek Filtration has been a leader in Alcohol Monitor dispenser filters which detect phase separation, letting the station operator be aware that action is necessary. Dealing with phase separation just got easy with Hydroburn PSR…the total solution from Cim-Tek Filtration.

Check out these cost saving examples:
Example 1      Example 2
