Slider Pump Overview |
|
 The increased availability of special drilling equipment has caused more landfills and cleanup projects to appreciate the unique advantages of low-angle (slanted or horizontal) wells or risers where conventional vertical wells are inefficient or impossible to use.
Sloped landfill risers for leachate and/or landfill gas allow wellhead installations and other equipment to be placed outside landfill cells, not in the middle of them. This protects headers and other equipment and facilitates normal landfill operations. Cleanup projects can also benefit. Narrow water or product layers can often be more efficiently intercepted by a horizontal well. Inaccessible contaminant plumes under buildings or sensitive areas can be reached; the technique is also a cost-cutting alternative to trenches for capturing widespread floating layers.
However, slant/horizontal wells are useless without the right pumps – and typical electric submersible or pneumatic pumps don't operate effectively in low-angle or horizontal installations.
QED Slider™ pumps provide the answer. They have proprietary angle-independent valves to operate at any orientation, and can deliver reliable flow at rates up to 9.5 gpm/13,680 gpd (35.9 Lpm/51.7 m3/day) in 5 in. (125 mm) and larger wells. They can also be modified to fit 4 in. (100 mm) wells. They are especially suited for tough landfill duty, providing excellent resistance to sediment clogging and solvent attack. Slider pumps are operated by QED's standard Pulse Link® Controller Modules.
