QED has created the first self cleaning landfill liquid extraction pump designed to operate in the most extreme landfill conditions. The new AP4 Ultra Xtreme pump utilizes the unique, non-stick coating and polished metal internal components of the AP4 Ultra and Ultra High Temperature pumps with the exclusive AutoPump Xtreme auger. The auger creates a spinning motion to the liquid to help keep particles suspended and moving. This field proven vortex action results in a additional ten-fold improvement in pump "in the ground" times. The combination of AP4 Ultra coating and continuous internal scouring means a reduction of over 50% of time spent cleaning the pump internal components. The AutoPump Xtreme lets you redirect important labor resources to more critical tasks. The new Xtreme is available as the Short, Bottom Loading model of either the standard AutoPump Ultra pump or Ultra High Temperature pump (for temperatures up to 250F / 120C).
Key Features
- 316 stainless-steel vortex inducing auger
- Proprietary non-stick finishes on float and discharge tube to reduce solids buildup
- 100% air-powered operation
- Corrosion-resistant 316-grade stainless steel metallic parts
- Reliable air control mechanism
- Functions under positive or negative (vacuum) pressure environments
- Does not require clean dry air to function properly and pumps particles up to 1/8 inch in diameter
- The AP4 air valves can pass 90 weight oil without fouling

Benefits
- Field tests have shown that the AutoPump® AP4 Ultra Xtreme will last up to 10 times longer between service events over the industry leading AP4 Ultra. Tested in the most severe applications
- Cleans in up to 50% less time than control group, determined by field tests
- Simple disassembly with no fasteners and no cotter pins
- Reduced service requirements redirects labor to other tasks
- Increase landfill gas extraction rates
- Reduced risk of liquid leakage through liners and side slope failures
- Lower rates of odors and non-methane organic compounds
- AutoPumps require no surface timer-based controllers, bubblers or sensors in the well to operate
