Petroleum Equipment Institute: The Ultimate Resource for Petroleum Marketing and Liquid Handling Equipment
The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) is a trade association that represents the manufacturers, distributors, and service providers of petroleum marketing and liquid handling equipment. Founded in 1951, PEI has been at the forefront of promoting safety, environmental protection, and business excellence in the petroleum industry.
With over 1,600 member companies from around the world, PEI is a trusted resource for anyone involved in the design, manufacture, installation or maintenance of fuel dispensing systems, storage tanks, piping systems or other related equipment. Whether you are a fuel retailer looking to upgrade your facilities or a contractor seeking technical guidance on regulatory compliance issues โ PEI has got you covered.
What sets PEI apart from other industry associations is its commitment to providing unbiased information and education to its members. Through its various committees and task forces composed of industry experts and stakeholders from all sectors of the petroleum industry โ PEI develops standards and best practices that help ensure safe operations while minimizing environmental impact.
One such example is PEI's Recommended Practices for Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems (RP100). This document provides detailed guidelines on how to properly install underground storage tanks (USTs) to prevent leaks or spills that could harm human health or the environment. RP100 has become an essential reference tool for UST installers across North America.
Another valuable resource offered by PEI is its annual convention & exposition โ known as "PEI at the NACS Show". This event brings together thousands of professionals from all segments of the petroleum marketing industry to network with peers; attend educational sessions on topics ranging from regulatory compliance to emerging technologies; and explore new products showcased by hundreds of exhibitors.
In addition to these core offerings โ PEI also provides members with access to online training courses; technical publications; market research reports; legislative updates; networking opportunities through regional chapters; as well as advocacy efforts aimed at promoting policies that support a vibrant petroleum marketing sector.
