I just wanted to take a second to let you know how satisfied I am with your Alert Tank System, now that I’ve gotten used to using it.  I’ve tested using US Test and MESA quite a bit. I am COMPLETELY happy with the Alert System. It’s Compact, easy to move and store. As with any system it has its delicate issues but as does any system.  As for the Ullage system it’s the best I’ve ever used. Again, it’s compact, easy to set up and is very thorough in its testing. In today’s age not all companies help you through the ups and downs that come with equipment purchases and learning the in’s and out’s of equipment of this nature.

This was a great course. As a new person to this field, it reinforced the things I knew and exposed me to many more topic that will make me a better inspector.

Purpora Engineering conducted UST Boot Camp for the State of Washington.  The training was everything we had hoped for and was well received by our UST staff.  Both experienced staff and staff newer to the UST world learned a lot from the training.

I found the UST Boot Camp to be an excellent training course, with mixture of hands on field study and informative speakers, covering details not normally covered in most classes.  Especially helpful was noting the proper placement of tank and piping sensors and ability of printing of “setup” on tank monitor, enabling determination of nearly all tank system specifications.

During field training, the Petro-tite determined there was a leak. We dug up the lines and found a pinhole leak at the first elbow going to first pump. My figures said losing about .222/gal per hour.   They had used 2” single-wall FG inside 3” single wall for secondary containment and it was leaking at the containment fitting possibly from over-prepping the pipe at installation. We have complete faith in our Petro-Tite tester. Needless to say, I probably won’t be using the company who initially passed the line.

MyTankGauge has saved our butts several times when/if there is a discrepancy or if a driver domes out. I can look to see how much product was dropped in each tank and immediately know if we have a crisis (cross drop) or a minor incident (NL on NL or NL on PNL) going on. I tell people all the time, out of all of the tank monitoring sites that I have been privy to, MyTankGauge is by far and above the most user friendly and easy to navigate! It has everything one could want right there! You don’t have to hunt for it.

When we decided to start tank and line testing in-house, we looked at the major testing systems that are available and by far and away the Purpora system is the best choice. When we tell a customer that their tank or line is tight, there is no guesswork, we know.   I would recommend this equipment, and especially the people behind it, to any PEI member. 

Chris did a great job identifying a pinhole leak at the first elbow and fixing the containment fitting. We have more faith in our Petro-Tite tester now. Needless to say, I won’t be using the company who passed the line initially.

I am completely happy with the Alert Tank System. It’s compact, easy to move and store, and provides very confident results. The support from Chris and Dawn has been exceptional—worth the trip up!
