QED upgrades AutoPump17 May 2023
QED Environmental Systems’s AutoPump Ultra 4+ Aggressive Fluid Duty landfill liquid pump now has upgraded materials that extends the pump’s service life.
The AutoPump Ultra 4+ Aggressive Fluids pump has stainless steel parts that have been upgraded to 316-grade, improving corrosion resistance. The pump’s nonmetallic internal parts are polyvinylidene difluoride, an engineered plastic that is said to retain higher strength at elevated temperatures and has a broad chemical resistance. These components ensure the new pump withstands the acidic and oxidising cleaning agents sometimes used for pump maintenance.
The AutoPump Ultra 4+ Aggressive Fluids pump has a patented design that achieves chemical resistance that lasts in a host of challenging scenarios. Specifically, it is able to provide reliability and safety in the following difficult conditions: hydrocarbon (LNAPL and dissolved phase) remediation; landfill leachate and methane condensate pumping; solvent (dissolved phase and DNAPL) cleanup; suspended solids, silts and corrosives; high viscosities; high temperatures; and frequent starts and stops.
The pump is available as either a four-inch bottom inlet or a four-inch top inlet and can withstand temperatures up to 180° Fahrenheit. It has a maximum fluid viscosity of 1,000 cSt, a maximum depth of 250 ft, and a flow range of 6-14 gpm. This rugged and resilient pump serves a diverse range of applications, including use cases for landfills mining and oil and gas.
