Overview
The AIS uses a combination of mechanical and electrical components and custom software to optimize the conventional additive blending procedure applied to gasoline and diesel fuels. These refinements automate the blending procedure, saving the retailer significant amounts of money, time and most importantly, improving the quality of blended fuel for consumers.
AIS Controller
The AIS Controller is a central computer that controls the logic of the AIS, interprets pulsed inputs and provides relay controls. Target blend ratios are input directly to the AIS Controller or remotely via the AIS Cloud or via third-party API Integration. From the backroom or office, it monitors volume levels reported by the Veeder-Root Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) to determine when a delivery starts and delivery flow rate. It calculates the required additive volumes and controls the injection into the storage tank for optimal blending. The AIS Controller is configured to support additization up to 8 tanks. For additization of more than 8 tanks, please contact Veeder-Root for custom configuration information.
AIS Controller Options:
- AIS Controller, up to 4 Tanks, Part Number: 10004
- AIS Controller up to 8 Tanks, Part Number: 10008
The AIS is compatible with the following consoles:
- TLS-450PLUS ATG
- TLS4 & TLS4B ATGs
- Legacy Veeder-Root ATGs
AIS Configurations
For all 3 AIS configurations, the TLS-450PLUS ATG alerts the AIS Controller that a delivery is in progress. Install the configuration that best meets your site needs.
AIS Kit
The AIS Kit is a flexible system comprised of 1 environmentally sealed flow meter per additive and 1 solenoid injection kit per tank. The AIS Kit flow meter and solenoid valves are installed in the containment sump of the additive tank, closer to the point of operation, and product tanks respectively. This configuration is beneficial for smaller sites where mounting additional system equipment is not feasible.
AIS Kit Components:
- Flow Meter Assembly, Part Number: 10100
- Solenoid Injection Kit:
- Color Drop (Preferred), Part Number: 10101
- OR Direct Drop, Part Number: 10102
- Calibration Kit, Part Number: 10103, which includes:
- 72” Calibration Hose, Part Number: 10502
- 1000ml Calibration Beaker, Part Number: 10503
AIS Plus
The AIS Plus is a self-contained stainless steel cabinet that includes flow meters, solenoid valves, and integrated filtration for the additive and a calibration kit. It is environmentally sealed for improved serviceability of the equipment. This configuration can support up to 2 additives and up to 8 tanks. For custom site configurations, please contact Veeder-Root.
AIS Plus Components:
- Single Additive, up to 3 Tanks, Part Number: 11003
- Double Additive, up to 4 Tanks, Part Number: 11004
- Double Additive, up to 8 Tanks, Part Number: 11008
AIS Complete
The AIS Complete is a fully integrated standalone system that requires minimal infrastructure changes to automate on-site additization. The environmentally sealed enclosure contains all the hardware necessary to pump, monitor and control the flow of additive. The storage tank is conveniently positioned to manage bulk storage of additive on the forecourt. For custom site configurations, please contact Veeder-Root.
AIS Complete Components:
- Integral Tank, Single Additive, support for up to 3 Tanks, AIS Plus with 320 Gallon Integral Tank, Part Number: 12001
- Standard Tank, Single Additive, support for up to 3 Tanks, AIS Plus with 320 Gallon Exposed Double Wall Tank, Part Number: 12002
The Additive Injection System is in partnership with Total Meter Services Inc.
