Overview

Cost effective pump for landfill leachate and condensate

The Leach-Aid Landfill Pump fits inside a piezometer or monitoring well and lowers the cost of leachate and condensate management. The pneumatic pump automatically turns off when no recovered liquid is present, reducing air consumption and extending pump life.

Landfill Leachate Pump Advantages

Lower energy costs
Long service life
Low maintenance

Reliability of pneumatic pumps with valves for leachate:

Pneumatic pumps were specially designed to work in waste waters and in difficult conditions of use (biogas, vacuum wells, etc.).
Materials used for the manufacturing of this pump can resist a large variety of chemicals, relatively viscous liquids, sand and compounds.
The compressed air valve turn off avoids important consumptions of air and the regular maintenances of the compressor.
Its automatic functioning allows it to regulate the levels of water in wells and to create preferential hydraulic passages in all conditions.

Landfill Leachate Pump - How it Works

Fill Cycle:

The fluid inlet check valve opens, allowing fluid to enter the pump. As the fluid level rises, air is expelled through the exhaust air valve and the internal float rises to the top of its stroke. In this upper position, the float triggers a level assembly, which opens the air inlet and closes the air exhaust valve, which allows air to enter and pressurizes the pump.

Discharge Cycle:

With the air inlet valve open, air pressure builds up within the pump body. This causes the fluid inlet check valve to close allowing the fluid to be displaced up and out of the fluid discharge check valve. As the fluid level falls, the float moves downward to the bottom of its stroke. In this lower position, the float triggers the level assembly to close the air supply and open the air exhaust valve and a new a cycle begins.

Landfill Leachate Pump Applications

The Leach-Aid Landfill Pump is designed for landfill use. This pump line offers a bottom-loading version for leachate removal and a top-loading version for total fluid/condensate removal.
