ANN ARBOR, MI -- Pumping to control landfill leachate and methane gas condensate or to recover contaminated ground water for environmental remediation is not a job for everyday submersible pumps. Ordinary electric submersible pumps do a great job at what they are designed for - pumping cool, clean water.
Environmental pumping sites are crawling with "pump eaters" - harsh acids and corrosive chemicals, aggressive solvents, flammable and explosive hydrocarbons, high temperatures and viscosities, heavy loads of silt and suspended solids, dissolved gases, foams and emulsions... plus ever-changing conditions of depth, flow rate and discharge head.
Under extreme pumping conditions like these, standard water pumps and even expensive special-duty electric submersible pumps may fail quickly and not be covered by their warranty. AutoPump(R) air-powered automatic pumps from QED were designed and developed to provide years of service in the most challenging conditions, with the bonus of built-in level control.
Experienced consulting engineers, landfill operators and environmental cleanup project managers know they can eliminate pump replacement as a budget item and drastically reduce downtime and maintenance costs by specifying air-powered automatic pumps from QED.
According to QED vice president David Mioduszewski, the company has incorporated numerous advances in design and materials into its air-powered submersible pumps since 1982.
"Individually, changes such as non-fouling ball check valves, high-clearance flow passages, and built-in level control make incremental improvements," said Mioduszewski. "Taken together, they offer quantum leaps in performance compared to the inherent limitations of electric submersible pump operation."
