PetroLCT™ Liquid Condensate Trap
Overview
The PetroLCTᵀᴹ Liquid Condensate Trap is a purpose-built solution designed exclusively for use with the Hirt VaporTek processor. Its role is crucial in facilities employing aboveground storage tanks with vapor recovery systems. The PetroLCT is engineered to capture, monitor, and automatically evacuate fuel or water that accumulates in vapor return lines, protecting both equipment and the environment.
Key Functions & Features
Automated Liquid Removal
PetroLCT collects condensate (liquid fuel or water) from vapor lines and, upon reaching a preset threshold, via the submersible turbine siphon port triggers automatic evacuation.
Compliance Assurance
Ensures compliance with strict state and district
requirements—including sensor-triggered audible and visual alarms when condensate accumulates, and mandatory rapid evacuation to maintain safe operation.
Smart Alarm System
Customer installed liquid level sensors provide real-time status reporting through control panels, ensuring rapid response and minimizing the risk of overflow.
Tailored Compatibility
The PetroLCT is designed exclusively for Hirt VaporTek (VCS 100-2) installations, ensuring the highest level of performance and compliance for vapor recovery operations.
Easy Maintenance
Robust construction keeps servicing simple.
Rugged Construction
All stainless-steel components are selected for durability and chemical resistance.
System Components
System Components

Compliance and Certification
- Complies with State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) requirements such as LG-113
- Test procedure and alarm history can be documented and printed through monitoring system interfaces (provided by others)
Application & Installation
- Suitable for gas stations, fueling points, and any AST system using the Hirt VaporTek processor
- Ensures system safety by preventing liquid buildup, reducing vapor blockage and potential system failures
- For use in remote fuel dispensers with underground piping and transition boxes or ground mount dispensers with above ground piping systems. The Petro LCT can be mounted in the transition box or on the concrete pad adjacent to the dispenser pan
