& Depot
When purchasing metering equipment, what fuel distributors really need are the key
requirements of effi ciency, accountability, traceability and product security.
ALPECO’s long-standing reputation for supplying high quality tanker metering equipment
made them fi rst choice for Pembrokeshire-based J.E Lawrence when updating a fuel depot with
outdated top loading systems.
Safety and product accountability were managing director Richard Lawrence’s prime
concern – the Alpeco loading skid was fi tted with genuine Liquid Controls fl ow meters – known
worldwide for their accuracy, reliability and longevity – and VEGA T registers linked to EA Projects’
automated fuel management system.
Alpeco Truck III electronic registers were installed on the two new RTN-built trucks,
connected to iMeter systems to allow remote monitoring of vehicle position, deliveries and stock
left onboard the tanker.
