MVP LS for pumping leachate

Brochure
User Manual

Leachate Pump

Leachate pump for use in 4-inch and larger-diameter wells and up to 200 ft.

Applications

Pumping leachate and gas condensate

Description

These models are specifically designed for use in landfills where leachate or gas condensates are recovered. They feature an air override that allows the pump and discharge lines to be emptied from the surface prior to pump removal. The MVP LS is a stainless steel bottom fill pump with a closed top and stainless steel fittings. The MVP LD is made from stainless steel and Delrin® with a bottom fill, closed top and PVC fittings. Operation of these pumps is identical to the standard MVP pumps. They can be supplied with custom Well Clinchers designed to meet your specific site requirements.

See an animated graphic showing how the pump works.

Benefits:

	The dome bottom (TR-815) is standard (Fig. 3). This prevents hang-up when lowering in pipe or casing with internal upsets.
	The top of the pump is closed. For landfill applications where the fluid carries much debris, the bottom-loading pump is recommended. As before, we use stainless steel fittings on this pump to provide corrosion resistance.
	The tubing is jacketed for ease of handling on the surface as well as in the hole. The jacketed assembly is easier to insert in the well, particularly in smaller-diameter or irregular casing. The tubing and jacket material is Nylon® 12 which is good at retaining mechanical properties following exposure to sunlight/UV radiation, resists high-temperatures as often encountered in landfills, and low water absorption.
	1” Discharge, 3/8” Air Exhaust, 1/4” Air Supply
	The air by-pass allows the pump and discharge hose to be emptied prior to removing them from the well.
