Gain $7,000/yr in LFG value, per well!
In the example below, freeing up as little as 10 additional feet of well screen in just one well provides an additional $7,000/yr of LFG value, after the QED AP4+ pump system pays for itself in just 6 months! See the example details below, and test your own case with the Landfill Gas Calculator (below).
Example:
• 70-foot well with 50 feet of screen
• 30 feet of open screen area is reduced to 20 feet with excess liquid
• Installation of a pump will draw down the liquid, exposing 10 more feet of screen
• Generating another $10,000 of revenue from methane (at $4/1,000 cubic feet)
• Typical pump system cost of $3,500
• Payback would occur in less than six months
Using the QED Landfill Gas Calculator (below), you can determine the payback for a pump installation at your site. This web-based application can be downloaded at no cost from the QED website at or simply use it on the website and get immediate results.
The AutoPump® has been the gold standard for landfill and remediation pumping for over 20 years, proving itself #1 in reliability, long service life and the longest warranty in the industry.
What makes the AutoPump AP4+ even better?
Easier to disassemble and clean
The AP4+ was made easier to clean by using 3 bolts to attach the pump inlet and open up the pump. This is easier than having to rotate the inlet multiple turns to unthread it from the center tube inside the pump, especially under field conditions of silt, deposits and coatings. Removing the inlet is also aided by the new, precision ID pump casing, ensuring a more controlled fit. The new pump casing’s smoother internal surface has the added benefit of reducing the rate of buildup of solids and coatings inside in some cases. The Easy Fittings make it a snap to remove the tubing from the pump without cutting, and the float is now easily removed by pulling a clip.
Upgraded materials offer greater resistance to heat and corrosion
The new AP4+ features upgraded materials for many parts to further extend the service life of the pump and to broaden the range of conditions each model can be used in. All nonmetallic internal parts are now made of PVDF*; this is a high-grade engineering plastic with higher strength at elevated temperatures and extremely broad chemical resistance, including to acidic and oxidizing cleaning agents sometimes used for pump maintenance. All stainless steel parts have been upgraded to 304 grade or higher for improved corrosion resistance.
Expanded 5-year warranty coverage
The new and improved warranty, a straight 5-year warranty with no pro-rating, is proof of the AP4+'s successful history and continued improvements.
Of course, the new AP4+ is compatible with the AutoPump family of accessories, including:
▼ Sheathed nylon pump tubing sets for maximum chemical resistance, reduced weight, less tangling and easier handling, another innovation lead by QED.
▼ QED’s Easy Fittings for affordable, quick connection and removal of the pump from its tubing set, built to function easily even under high solids well conditions. These are now available pre-installed to pump and tubing so pump system installation just snaps together!
▼ QED’s Easy Bolts for rapid access to flanged wellheads.
▼ The industry’s widest range of wellhead completions to match your site so that pump installation goes smoothly. Custom options are available to fit your specific wellhead requirements.
