Convenience Retailer Show Daily Thursday, October 19, 2017 2 0 Helping Consumers Stay Clean and Healthy Can Help Your Bottom Line Gas pump consumers are more con- cerned than ever with protecting their hands from the germs, grime and odors that gas pumps and nozzles are riddled with. One company has found a way for brands and c-stores to meet this rising consumer demand for cleanliness – all while increasing sales and store traffic. The Grabbies program puts promo- tional dispensers filled with disposable, certified compostable gloves at every gas pump or island column. Each disposable glove comes with a tear-off promotion – good for instant savings in-store. At the pump, consumers simply pull a glove, protect their hands, peel off the coupon, then purchase the promoted deal in the c-store. The Grabbies program is particular- ly innovative because it comes at a time when cleanliness and germ protection is of utmost concern to consumers. In fact, the majority of public locales (including supermarkets, airports, hotels and restaurants) have been supplying germ-protection products as a service to their consumers for years – all at their own cost. Today's con- sumers have grown accus- tomed to having hand sanitizer, dispos- able gloves and disinfecting wipes readi- ly available when they need it. It's time that gas stations and c-stores caught up with this trend. Studies have shown that of all the public surfaces touched each day, gas pumps are the dirtiest – loaded with bac- teria because of the hundreds of hands touching them each day. In fact, it's been reported that 71 percent of all pumps are covered with bacteria that will make humans sick. Beyond germs, the pump experience leaves consumer's hands grimy, greasy and smelling like fuel. This is a top issue that the majority of both male and female gas purchasers report significantly disliking. Gas stations in Asia and Europe have been providing disposable gloves at their gas pumps for years. With Grabbies, that same benefit comes to the U.S. – with one important distinction: providing this in-demand service is now comes with an opportunity to increase sales and traffic.

The Patient/Consumer Journey Your patient enters the retail store to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy. Notifications of in-store promotions appear on the patient's mobile device through the retail app. The patient makes a note to pick up the allergy medication being promoted. The patient proceeds to the pharmacy and has a mean- ingful educa- tional interac- tion with the pharmacist, who explains the cholesterol medication regimen and side effects, and the importance of com- pliance to maximize symptom improve- ment. The patient then goes to pick up Allergy Med X from the WestRock dis- play. The patient also pulls an in-store coupon off the display for $2 off tissues, finishes shopping and proceeds to check- out.

WEH Particle Filters for Safe CNG and H2 Refueling Filtering CNG and hydrogen used for refueling is essential for the proper func- tioning of components, both for vehicles and fueling stations. Build-up of residues, such as oil or metal shavings, can have a negative influence on fittings and valves and even result in damage and leakages. The new WEH ® TSF2 and TSF4 particle filters have been specially designed to remove such particles from the gas flow. Having a high particle retention, they filter the gas flow and reli- ably and securely remove those particles contaminating the gas. With integrated filter elements ranging from 1 to 40 micron, the particle filter protects your refueling components, such as fueling nozzles, receptacles, check valves, cylin- der valves and gas pressure regulator from the dirt found in the gas stream. All filters are constructed of high-quality materials and either have a filter cartridge that can be cleaned easily and used again or a replaceable filter cartridge. They are easy to maintain and can also be retrofit- ted to fueling stations and vehicles. The WEH filters ensure well filtered CNG and hydrogen which will enhance serv- ice life of refueling com- ponents and reduce maintenance cost. The filters are available in different sizes and ver- sions. The range of prod- ucts covers coalescing filters for high pressure use up to 390 bar and for retaining parti- cles from 0.3 to 1 micron. The gas flows through the filter and those particles being slower, such as oil, water and other liquid aerosols form drops sinking to the bottom of the filter where they are drained via the oil outlet. These filters feature ease of maintenance and have an integrated fine filter for particle retention. All WEH CNG and hydrogen filters have been designed especial- ly for installation in cars, buses, trucks and fueling stations and are highly efficient (effi- ciency rate of 99 per- cent for 0.3 micron par- ticles). They have CE marking and are in compliance with the Pressure Equipment Directive PED and have the ECE R110 approval for installation in CNG fueled vehicles.
