Sampling pumps for water monitoring a environment investigations

Wich pumps for water sampling can ensure maximum suction?

Our customer operates in geological and environmental inspections. Among the most common main activities, there is an intense water monitoring activities carried out using appropriate sampling pumps for surveys in plant facilities and chemicals production sites. sampling pumps peristaltic pumpThe most common operation in monitoring is sampling and analysis of process and ground water. One of the most critical aspects, it is precisely the collecting of groundwater that must be handled by special monitoring wells arranged in order. The most important feature that should have a pump for this function is a high suction capacity, especially in case the sampling is practiced from the ground surface with self priming pump.  A pump capable of developing very high suction capability is absolutely needed.

Use of surface self priming pumps is generally the system most used and preferred where applicable. This system is the fastest and cheapest way to operate on wells with a static level up to less than 10 metres depth.

Only long-lasting textile fiber reinforced peristaltic hose with large elastic memory produce the maximum suction effect needed for a monitoring pump.

There are several manufacturers of sampling and monitoring pumps, but all available products make use of single-component or mono-extruded peristaltic tube. This type of component, although it can provide a substantial vacuum, but difficult in practice, ensures effective functionality at depths greater than 6 meters, because of the tendency to remain compressed due to  vacuum effect, and  lack of elastic memory tipically present on non reinforced tube type.

A sampling peristaltic pump that arrives at great depth

For the construction of its own analysis unit, our customer wanted an HCP 20 peristaltic pump that, unlike ordinary sampling pumps, uses reinforced hoses with textile fibers between the various layers of rubber. This type of hose maintain a very high elastic memory and permanently guarantee a great vacuum up to 95% with the advantage of suction capability up to 9.5 meters above ground level. An important average of 3.5 meters more than conventional similar pumps. From an operational point of view, this is already a notable advantage, but it is also added the much longer life of the fiber-reinforced textile peristaltic hose, greatly simplifying the operational monitoring activity and moving far in the time the replacement of peristaltic hose.

heat pump, wells for geothermal heating and peristaltic pumps.

Peristaltic pump for construction of wells for geothermal energy with heat pump.

heat pump and peristaltic pumpA major european company, specialized in foundation works, in recent years, has introduced a division that deals with installation of geothermal plants with heat pump.These plants provide the realization of the wells drilled in the ground for the installation of geothermal piping and sensors. These wells are typically low-depth, up to a maximum of 150 meters and small diameter. Inside of the wells are inserted the vertical geothermal sensors consisting in polyethylene pipes with plant connections. Subsequently, the wells are isolated by filling with a specific material that is placed between the pipes and the bore of the well. The filling material, in addition to the thermal conductivity must also ensure a low solubility, to avoid interaction with the groundwater and must also guarantee a good elasticity to avoid collapsing of the soil, the filling material most commonly used is a grout, cement-based and bentonite, which serves perfectly to this function and is widely used in the engineering of specialized foundations. The mixture looks like a thick mud but rather fluid. The operation of isolation of the well is of fundamental importance for the purposes of the maximum thermal output, and must be made perfectly before connecting the geothermal wells and the heat pump plant. To effectuate the preparation and transfer of the bentonite mixture, two pumps, Hose Carrier HCP 6.5 have been purchased. The pumps are realized with compact dimensions and equipped with a mechanical variator to adjust the flow rate easily. The customer placead the pump on custom skid complete with electrical panel and protections so is possible control the pump, directly on board of a vehicle, or on construction yard. The two pumps operate by 2011 with an annual consumption of 4 tubular membranes. Which makes us assume that should work with particularly intense rhythms.

Peristaltic Pumps Hose Carrier for leachate (percolate) aspiration.

Leachate suction pump

peristaltic pump for leachateAn important group engaged in the environmental sector, manages a landfill of solid non-hazardous, leachate or percolate is one of products deriving from the accumulation. The leachate is generated in a natural way by the crossing of rainfall through the layer of waste present in landfills, the result is a fluid from the characteristics extremely polluting, and therefore must be picked up and treated on site by means of a appropriate purification process .

There are different systems for leachate suction, some bore hole submersible pumps inserted in appropriate wells, other systems provide surface self-priming peristaltic pumps  able to aspirate the fluid from the surface. The landfill was designed considering not to apply submersible pumps  type to avoid  maintenance substantial costs in failure or malfunction. In previous experiences it is noticed that whenever it is necessary the maintenance of the submersed pump, it is necessary to remove virtually all installation, raising the pump through its pipe by expensive equipment and specialized personnel.

Leachate has a chemical aggressiveness of a certain importance, variable over time, and is able to put out of order the submersible pumps in short times. In principle are also used for the percolate, pumps designed for clean water or with small modifications of adaptation to percolate , but that, as it was found, do not guarantee duration in time acceptable.

Maintenance and replacement operations are very expensive because they require disassembly total line in the well, as well as the use of suitable equipment such as cranes and lorries, transfers and interventions in specialised workshops with technical staff at high cost. The plant of the landfill was consequently designed for use surface peristaltic pumps, through the realisation of a crowning achievement of picking stations with negative leaf not deep over eight meters.

Peristaltic pump easy solution for percolate.

Various Peristaltic Pumps HCP 50 have been installed to suck the leachate directly from the surface. The high vacuum produced by the peristaltic pump and full compatibility of the machine to chemical aggression in addition to the total insensitivity to dry running, has allowed the achievement full both the targets, operational and economic. The individual pumping stations manitenance cost provides only the replacement of peristaltic hose (once every 2 years). The replacement takes place in the site, quickly, with no  additional costs for operation (an hour) with internal staff at the management company.

The on-site maintenance occurs without remove piping but acting only and exclusively on ground surface, away from the contaminant. The management company has spoken in a very positive manner on the peristaltic pump solution adopted, and proposes the purchase of new peristaltic pump for extensions and other future projects.
