GuardDog Watches Over Valero
Concord, CA (ContentDesk) February 10, 2004--SpillGuard Technologies (http://www.sgtinc.com), the leading provider of innovative end-to-end spill prevention solutions for the fuel movement and petrochemical industry, announced today that its GuardDog? independent secondary shutoff control system has successfully completed 10 months in operation at Valero's Benicia facility.
Valero has installed three GuardDog units in this downstream marketing terminal to monitor and protect their operation from inadvertent spills. Valero's decision to use the GuardDog platform was based on SpillGuard's ability to quickly integrate into Valero's existing systems and enable Valero to prevent spills resulting from human error and mechanical failure during loading of fuel into tanker trucks.
When the GuardDog's patent pending predictive intelligence predicts a probable spill within 750 milliseconds of a high limit alarm, it initiates pump shutdown and secondary control valve closure, preventing a spill."Valero has played a vital leadership role in adopting The new American Petroleum Institute's (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 1004 calling for an independent secondary shutoff control system for bottom loading of tanker trucks.
In doing so, Valero has set an example for others to follow in the adoption of new standards that serve to improve safety and protect the environment in and around their facilities," said Peter A.
Mantas, president and CEO of SpillGuard Technologies.
"We are proud to be working with such a forward thinking organization, and are also very pleased to have Valero Energy, the largest independent refiner in the United States, validate our spill prevention technology with their early adoption of our GuardDog product.
We are confident that the GuardDog will not only continue to perform as advertised, but also exceed all expectations.
We look forward to contributing to Valero's ongoing commitment to improving safety and protecting the environment."About The GuardDog? The GuardDog is the first independent secondary shutoff control system. It is quickly becoming the industry's defacto standard for spill prevention.
Developed from the ground up to protect lives, the environment, and security. The GuardDog's patent pending design continuously monitors from 1 to 8 loading or transfer streams per unit.
Built with the future in mind, its innovative design ensures American Petroleum Institute's (API) RP1004 compliance, reduces installation costs, streamlines operations, reduces or eliminates the risks of spills, detects leaks and even detects attempted product theft.Under normal conditions The GuardDog is silent until it detects a catastrophic valve failure.
Springing to action, the GuardDog automatically shuts down pumps; closes storage tank base valves and locks out the loading operation while alerting management personnel of the problem and providing an opportunity for investigation. The GuardDog empowers management with complete control -- not allowing loading to continue or resume until management determines it is safe to load again by initiating a keyed system reset switch.Impressively flexible, the GuardDog is easily integrated into the Terminal Management System at tank truck, rail car, commercial and military aviation refueling and marine ship and barge loading operation facilities.
A Typical configuration requires only one "GuardDog" unit per load lane. The unit works in concert with SGT Inc's Pump & Valve Controller and other existing safety components and emergency shutdown circuits to provide a fail-safe mechanism for stopping flow when a valve failure is detected.

Toyota Truck Recall: Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, and Sequoia
A wide scale recall is the last resort for a car company to take with a problematic vehicle, and most automotive problems do not even make it to recall stage. Toyota has been known to avoid issuing recalls at all cost, preferring to issue safety warnings and avoid covering repair costs on vehicles that are beyond warranty. This should put this year's massive Toyota truck recall into perspective.This May, Toyota Motor Corp issued one of its largest safety recalls in history. Toyota is recalling more than 750,000 pickup trucks and SUV's because of problems with the front suspension that could make the vehicles difficult to steer. The recall covers 775,000 vehicles in the United States alone, including 2001-2004 model years of the Toyota Tacoma, the 2001-2002 models of Toyota 4Runner and the 2002-2004 model Tundra and Sequoia.During the manufacturing of these vehicles, the surface of the front suspension ball joint was scratched.
