Q.E.D Environmental Systems announced its Eliminator high-capacity bladder pump, designed to handle light and dense nonaqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs and DNAPLs) as well as viscous contaminants, including crude oil. Available for 2-inch (50 mm) or 4-inch (100 mm) wells or larger, the Eliminator pump offers 100 percent air-powered operation, no contact between drive air and contaminated fluids, and simple flow optimization.
The Eliminator pump uses a bladder made of PTFE or elastomer to isolate the pump air supply from pumped liquid, so there is no contact between the air and the contaminated fluids inside the bladder. As a result there are no emissions of potentially contaminated air.
