PetroVac™ Vacuum Pump System
for Interstitial Monitoring
The Next Standard in Secondary Containment Leak Detection
PETROVAC™ by Petro Specialties, Inc. is a purpose-built, positive displacement vacuum pump system for interstitial monitoring of double-walled tanks, piping, and containment sumps—especially where submersible turbine pumps (STPs) are not present or practical.
Purpose-Built for Modern Tank Systems
PetroVac™ is a positive displacement vacuum pump system engineered for interstitial monitoring of double-walled tanks, piping, and containment sumps—specifically where submersible turbine pumps (STPs) are not present or practical. Whether you’re
managing fuel delivery in hospitals, high-rise buildings or specialty manufacturing, PetroVac delivers reliable, automated vacuum for leak detection and compliance.
Ideal for:
- Hospitals, high-rise buildings, specialty manufacturing
- Generator and boiler UST systems
- Chemical and waste storage requiring Title 23 compliance

Key Features & Benefits
Reliable Leak Detection
Maintains a stable vacuum in the interstitial space, enabling rapid detection of breaches in both inner and outer tank/piping walls.
Automatic Operation
Integrates with the Veeder-Root TLS-450Plus console and SCLD module, automatically restoring vacuum and triggering alarms as needed.
Flexible Applications
Ideal for systems without STPs, including generator and boiler UST systems where suction systems are required. Waste products and chemical storage where the UST systems are governed by the State Water Resources Control Board – CCR, Titel 23, Division 3, Chapter 16.
Tested & Evaluated
Independently evaluated by Ken Wilcox Associates, confirming identical performance to STP-based systems when used with TLS-450Plus and SCLD[²].
How PetroVac Works
1. Continuous Monitoring
The TLS-450Plus console tracks vacuum levels in the interstitial space.
2. Automatic Response
If vacuum drops, PetroVac
activates via the Veeder Root
and Red Jacket relay to restore proper levels.
3. Manual Intervention
Operators diagnose and clear
alarms via the TLS-450Plus console.
