News & Press Releases

To paraphrase an old public-service announcement: "It’s 10 p.m. Do you know what the product levels are in the aboveground storage tanks at your bulk-storage facility? "For many bulk plant operators, the answer to this question would be a tentative (or wishful), "I think so."

OPW Fueling Components, the company that is leading the way in fueling innovation worldwide, is proud to announce that it has received Underwriters Laboratories Listing (UL) for its new 21Ge™ Series Nozzles, ethanol swivels, breakaways and its 10 Plus Emergency Shut-Off Valve for use in applications containing ethanol concentrations up to 85 percent. This third-party listing was received after the company’s products passed a rigorous testing process by UL.

ISO 14001:2004 is awarded to companies that meet ISO-established guidelines for energy-management systems at their plants.

This annual award is given to the company that has the best industrial safety record of all manufacturing facilities in Butler County that compile between 250,000 and 750,000 man-hours without a lost-time injury.

For SKS’ specific application, the SiteSentinel® iSite™ is able to handle a facility with 32 tanks, as well as offer 15-foot probes. In his search for a solution, Bowden had found that some other systems can manage locations with no more than 12 tanks equipped with 10-foot probes.  

OPW is proud to announce that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has approved the OPW 21Gv™ ORVR Nozzle for use at existing Stage II Vapor Recovery installations. The State of New York recognizes that the use of the OPW 21Gv increases system efficiency when used in place of non-ORVR compatible nozzles, thus giving further incentive for its use with vacuum-assist Stage II systems.

OPW Fueling Containment Systems, part of OPW Fueling Components and one of the world's leaders in the design and manufacture of piping and containment systems and underground storage tank equipment, is proud to announce its new product demonstration video is now available.

This state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is part of OPW’s global expansion strategy and demonstrates commitment to localize its presence in the markets it serves.

The FSC3000 is the heart of several OPW fuel-management systems and can be integrated directly into the K800 Hybrid™, FIT500™ and C/OPT™ fuel-island terminals, or provided as a stand-alone controller. The FSC3000 stores transaction data, and driver and vehicle records, including fueling-restriction data that is critical to proper fleet management.

OPW Fueling Components, the company that is leading the way in fueling innovation around the world, is proud to add FusionWorks to its industry-leading portfolio of Fuel Piping and Containment Systems.

A century later, the company (still family-owned) has become one of the largest retailers of home-heating oil and propane in northern New England. This didn’t happen by accident, but was the result of sensing a shift in existing market dynamics, identifying new opportunities, and then having the fortitude and wherewithal to create a new direction for the company.

OPW manufacturing facilities will be conducting an inventory review in December.

The new OPW Global Web site provides the most comprehensive repository of OPW product information on the Internet.

OPW Fueling Components President, David Crouse, announced today the appointment of Fernando Whitaker to the newly created position of Managing Director – Latin America. Mr. Whitaker assumed this position on August 3, 2009.
