Introduction

Welcome to QED Environmental Systems’ AutoPump® (AP4+) manual.

To ensure the best operator safety and system performance, it is strongly recommended that the operators read this entire manual before using the system.

This manual reflects our many years of experience and includes comments and suggestions from our sales and service personnel and most importantly from our customers. The chapters, their contents and sequence were designed with you, the user and installer, in mind. We wrote this manual so it can be easily understood by users who may not be familiar with systems of this type or are using a QED system for the first time.

Safety

Safety has been a cornerstone of our design which has been proven out in building and shipping systems throughout the world. Our high level of performance is achieved by using quality components, building in redundancies or backup systems, and not compromising our commitment to quality manufacturing. The net result is the highest quality and safest pneumatic pump recovery system on the market. We feel so strongly about safety, based on years of working

with the hydrocarbon industry, that it is the first section of all our manuals

Chapter 3: Overview

The AutoPump® fills and empties automatically, and is very easy to install, use, and maintain.

The AutoPump is a pneumatic fluid extraction pump that pumps in pulses. It handles any liquid which flows freely into the pump and is compatible with the component materials and with the connecting hoses. The AP4+ is intended for vertical operation in well casings with a 3.75-inch or greater internal diameter. It can pump particles up to 1/8-inch in diameter.

The AutoPump is very versatile and available in a wide range of lengths, valve arrangements, and materials of construction to meet particular site specifications.

Equipment will vary by application and site specifications. (See Chapter 3)

General Specifications

Pump Diameter:

Pressure Range:

High Pressure Option:

Flow Ranges:

3.6 inch (91 mm) 5 - 120 psi (0.4 - 8.5 Kg/cm²)

5 - 200 psi (0.4 - 14.1 Kg/cm²) 0-14 gallons per minute (0-53 liters per minute)

This is How it Works

The AutoPump is a submersible compressed air-driven pump which fills and empties automatically. It also controls the fluid level in a well automatically. The pump fills (See Figure 1) when fluids enter either the top or bottom check valve. Air in the pump chamber exits through the exhaust valve as the fluid fills the pump. The float inside the pump is carried upwards by the fluids rising in the casing until it pushes against a stop on the control rod, forcing the valve mechanism to switch to the discharge mode.

The switching of the valve causes the exhaust valve to close and the air inlet valve to open. This causes the pump to empty (see Figure 1) by allowing compressed air to enter the pump. This pressure on the fluid closes the inlet check valve and forces the fluids up the discharge line and out of the pump through the outlet check valve. As the fluid level falls in the pump, the float moves downward until it pushes against the lower stop on the control rod, forcing the valve mechanism to switch to the fill mode. The outlet check valve closes and prevents discharged fluids from

re-entering the pump. The filling and discharging of the pump continues automatically.

NOTE: The figures shown here are simplified schematics.

Chapter 5: Installation

1. Cover the pump tubing/hose ends with tape if they are to be pulled through trenches or laid on the ground. This is to prevent debris from entering the lines.

2. Blow out all water and particles from compressed air conduits (including downwell pump air supply lines) and fluid lines for at least 10 seconds after the water and particles exit before connecting them to the system.

3. Slip clamps over appropriate tubing/hose prior to connecting the tubing/hose to the pump barbs.

4. Push tubing/hose down flush with the fitting's nut if possible; cover at least three barbs if three or more are present (Note: when installing tubing in freezing weather, tubing can be dipped in warm water for a few seconds to soften the nylon).

5. Attach pump support rope/cable to the pump.

6. Attach pump air supply and liquid discharge lines to the well cap. Attach the air exhaust line to the well cap if the pump air is to exhaust outside the well (Note: the liquid discharge line is always the largest diameter of the three lines, and the air supply line is always the smallest diameter).

7. Connect the pump air supply and liquid discharge lines to the appropriate surface lines/headers.

8. Turn on the air pressure to the pump (minimum of 0.5 psi per foot of vertical static head).

Caution: Submerging the pump before supplying it with air will result in fluid entering the exhaust tubing/hose. Those fluids will be discharged from the exhaust tubing/hose during the first few cycles of the pump. If this discharge will not be confined to the well; i.e., if the air exhaust line is routed outside the well*, it is important to make sure that the air exhaust line is not directed such that equipment/ personnel could be splashed by the discharged fluid when air is turned on to the pump.

Note: Submerging the pump before supplying it with air can also result in fluid entering the air supply line.This fluid from the well can contain particles, which could interfere with operation of the pump's air valve.

9. Lower the pump to the desired depth in the well.

10. Secure the pump by tying off the pump support line or by placing the well cap (or flange) on the well.

11. Increase the air pressure to the pump until the pump is pushing the fluid out at the desired rate. With sufficient air pressure (at least 10 to 15 psi higher than the vertical static head), the pump will gradually draw down the fluid level in the well to the level of the pump. The time required for this draw down varies with the yield of the well as compared to the flow rate of the pump. The maximum recommended pump operating pressure is 120 psi.

Note: If the well environment is such that deposition occurs on stainless steel parts, the operator

may wish to raise the pump above the water level during a shutdown of the system.

* Routing the air exhaust in vacuum wells:

QED controllerless pumps automatically control the liquid level in the well. Under normal conditions, the liquid level will be maintained at a point approximately one foot below the top of a bottom load pump (this is the pump's actuation point). The pump will automatically start and stop as needed to maintain the level at this actuation point.

When QED controllerless pumps are used in wells that are under vacuum, and the exhaust air is routed into the well, the well level will be maintained at this normal actuation point. If, however, the well is under vacuum and the exhaust air is routed outside of the well (to atmospheric pressure), the actuation point of the pump will be higher than the normal actuation point by a distance equal to the amount of vacuum applied to the well (expressed in "inches of water column"). Please note that the pump will still function normally and maintain the liquid level, albeit a higher level.

Chapter 5: Installation

Hose Bundles

Hose bundling or the use of jacketed tubing reduces equipment entanglement at the well surface, and aids the removal of the pump from the well. Bundling also assists in positioning the pump and down-well hose assembly against one side of the well casing. Maximum space is created for other items, such as probes, to be periodically placed inside the well.

Follow these instructions to create a hose bundle:

1. Lay the equipment on the ground and make all of the necessary hose connections. (See Figure 5).

2. If a well cap is supplied, install it on the hoses. (See Figure 4).

3. Connect the quick-link assembly on the support rope to the eyebolt on the AP4+ and lay the support rope out along with the hoses. Make sure that none of the hoses or support ropes are crossing over each other (See Figure 5).

Note: To make the next step easier, pull the support rope and the hoses taut.

4. Starting at the AutoPump end of the hose, put a tie-wrap through the center of the braided support rope just above the uppermost quick-connect or barb on the AutoPump (See Figure 5).

5. Pulling the rope taut, put the tie-wrap around the fluid discharge hose with the rough surface outwards. Cross the ends and complete the connect the tie-wrap make sure it is straight and is not kinking the hoses (See Figure 5).

Note: After completing this step, the fluid discharge hose will be attached to the support rope and the exhaust hose. At this point the air supply hose is still lying free.

6. Place the next tie-wrap two feet towards the well cap from the first. Secure the air supply hose rather than the exhaust hose.

Note: It is important to put the tie-wraps approximately two feet apart to keep a proper discharge hose/support rope bundle. Experience has shown that spreading the tie-wraps further apart than two feet increases the probability for hose kinking.

7. Continue to alternate the air exhaust and the air supply tie-wraps every two feet, stopping about five feet from the wellhead.

8. Being careful not to leave any sharp edges, cut the excess from the tie-wraps.

You now have a down-well bundled hose assembly that supports both the hoses and the down-well equipment.

Chapter 6: Maintenance

Removing the Pump’s Casing

1. Remove the bolt at the bottom of the pump which holds the inlet screen in place (bottom loading pumps only).

2. Remove the three bolts at the bottom of the pump which hold the inlet in place. (See Figures 6,7,8,and 9)

3. Remove. the inlet from the pump’s casing by pulling it out.

4. Twist and slide the casing down off the pump’s frame.

Cleaning Pump Interior

The inner workings of the pump should now be exposed for inspection and cleaning. (See Figures 6 Through 11)

Note: A Scotch Brite® abrasive pad is useful for cleaning debris from the pump components.

.1 Gently brush off built-up solids from the float, the discharge line, the pump casing and the control rod guide.

2. The pump can be steam cleaned without damage.

3. Remove thick deposits of hardened scale on the discharge tube by using a handbrush or by lightly tapping the

discharge tube with a small hammer. Be careful not to strike any pins or other components, since they may be damaged.

Iron Build-up Cleaning Procedure

After the casing has been removed from the AutoPump please follow the procedure below:

1. The bottom “spider” should be removed by unthreading it from the pump’s discharge pipe. (See Figures 6,7,8,and 9)

2. Visually inspect the 1 inch stainless steel fluid discharge pipe for scale build-up or debris. Also, do the same with the float

that rides up and down on the SS discharge pipe.

3. Should there be scale deposits on either or both the discharge pipe or float, then remove the float from the SS fluid discharge pipe as follows . (See Figures 6,7,8,and 9)

Remove the small SS hairpin from the bottom spring cup. Removing the hairpin and spring cup will allow you to remove the spring, sliding stop and float from the SS discharge pipe.

4. The 1 inch stainless steel fluid discharge pipe can now be cleaned using either a ScotchBrite pad, a wire brush or a wire wheel on either a drill or a grinding machine. After removing the scale/debris, it is recommended the pipe be water rinsed.

Both the internal and external surfaces of the float will generally require cleaning. The cleaning material choices include a Scotch Brite pad, and a light grade 150 sandpaper.

The plates are removed to ease cleaning, they should be replaced on the same float end from which they came. That is, the plates should maintain their original top and bottom positions.

5. The white plastic square Control Rod is the next component to be cleaned. The control rod is the item that fits through the smaller hole in the float and is adjacent to the SS discharge pipe in the assembled pump. To Clean use the Scotch Brite pad or a razor or Exacto knife (not sandpaper).

6. The final component to be cleaned is the outer AP4+ casing. The fastest and most effective way to clean out the inside surface of the pump casing is to use a three-stone honing tool. The technique is to move the hone in and-out, a half dozen times or so through, each end of the casing. The time for the casing cleaning should take no longer than 5 minutes.

The AutoPump is now ready for re-assembly by following the steps above in reverse order.

Note: Before threading the bottom “spider” onto the pump’s discharge pipe, be sure to wrap the discharge pipe’s threads completely with Teflon tape.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting & Repairs

Problems may occur and usually can be easily resolved by following these instructions. If, after careful reading and service, you cannot resolve the problem, please contact the QED Environmental Systems (QED) Service Department at (800) 537-1767.

Caution: Wear goggles, gloves, and coveralls when servicing this system.After troubleshooting is completed and before assembling the pump, slowly move the float through its range to ensure that the lever will trip even if the pump fills and empties slowly.

Note: Maintenance for disassembly and cleaning instructions.

Troubleshooting

1. Air Supply

If the air pressure is too low, or if the flow is severely restricted, the pump will not cycle. The minimum air

•

pressure requirement for pump operation is 0.5 psi per foot of vertical static head.

•

If the air pressure exceeds the design limitations of the pump, the pump may fail to cycle, or the exhaust may have locked up and caused air to enter the fluid discharge.

2. Fluid Level

The fluid level must be above the fluid inlet on a Top-Loading pump. On a Bottom-Loading pump, the fluid must

•

be no lower than 9 inches below the head of the pump

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting & Repairs

• If the air exhausts to the atmosphere (outside the well) and a vacuum is drawn on the well, the pump may fail to fill. In order for the pump to fill under these conditions, the pump must be submerged to make up for the pressure difference between the atmosphere and the partial vacuum in the well.

The pressure difference, expressed as feet of water column (FT. W. C.), is the distance the fluid must be above the pump before it can fill.

4. Fluid Inlet Clogged

•

If the fluid inlet screen is clogged with debris water cannot enter the pump.

5.Debris, Scale, or very Viscous Fluid

If debris, scale or a very viscous fluid has accumulated inside the pump, the float may not move freely up and

•

down, or the control rod may not slide easily through the float.

Clean the float, control rod, and the casing. (See Chapter 5 for cleaning instructions).

•

6. Lever Pivot Wear

• Grasp the center of the lever with thumb and forefinger. Rotate the lever to horizontal.

• Push up and down, toward and away from the head. Confirm that there is less than 1/32 inch of movement.

•

Replace the levers if the pivot hole is worn

7. Debris in Air Inlet Valve (First check #6-Lever Pivot Wear)

•

Open the pump. Connect the air supply. Pull the control rod down. Listen to determine if air leaks through. If air still leaks through the valve with the control rod down, the air tubing must be removed to access the valve inlet to check for debris in the valve. Clean the valve by blowing air or water through it from both ends.

Push the rod upwards. If little or no air passes through, remove the tubing to access the valve inlet. Blow air

•

through the valve from the poppet side to clear debris from the ball and seat.

8. Fluid Check Valves

• Open the pump. Hold the pump vertically and pour water into the discharge check valve. If water flows through,

clean the valve.

•

Remove the valve and use emery cloth or a very fine sand paper to polish the surface where the ball seats.

• If the pump is a Bottom-Loading design, inspect the seat of the bottom check valve for debris and wear. Clean

or replace if necessary.

If the pump is a Top-Loading design, remove the fluid inlet check valve and inspect the seating surface and the

•

ball for debris and wear.

9. Air Inlet Valve Timing

•

(First check lever pivot wear per #6 above)

• Call the QED Service Department for correct air valve timing for your pump.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting & Repairs

Returning Equipment for Service

If the equipment needs to be returned to QED for servicing, please follow these steps:

1. Call the QED Service Department and obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. Please have available the contact person’s name, company name and address, phone number, fax number, reason for the return, and the names of the chemicals to which the equipment has been exposed.

2. Clean all equipment before shipping. (See Equipment Cleaning Requirements at the end of this section). If the equipment must be cleaned after it arrives at QED, the customer will be charged for the cleaning and disposal of material, if necessary. (Cost can be $500.00 per piece of equipment cleaned.) It is also important to note that shipping equipment with a known hazardous waste is a violation of federal law. Drain and dry all equipment after cleaning.

3. Package the equipment so that it will not be damaged in shipment. Use bubble pack rather than styrofoam flakes as packing material.

4. Ship the equipment via a carrier and service level (i.e., one-day, two-day shipping) in consideration of probable service time and return shipment time.

5. It is recommended that such shipments be insured so, if the shipment is badly damaged or lost, the customer can replace the equipment at little or no cost.

6. Include the contact’s name, company, phone number and RMA number given by QED.

7. Write the RMA number on the outside of the packaging so it will be directed immediately to the QED Service

Department.

Equipment Cleaning Requirements

If the equipment is to be shipped to another site or to the factory for service, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned before leaving the site. Cleaning the equipment protects the user (sender), the shipper, and the receiver from dirt and/or contaminants. If the equipment is not cleaned prior to shipping for servicing, it may be severely delayed, refused or the shipper may be charged a cleaning fee. Before packing and shipping, ensure that the equipment is dry inside and out.

To Clean the AP4+:

1. Pump clean water or water with a gentle soap solution (e.g. Dove Dish Soap) through the pump to remove free

product and particles.

2. Rinse all soap off of the equipment.

3. Soak and rinse the outside of the unit with water to remove loose debris and dirt.

4. Steam clean inside and out to remove difficult dirt and contaminants.

Caution: Use low pressure (less than 40 psi) when steam cleaning.
