Magnum Spill Buster

The Magnum Spill BusterTM is an advanced product pumping system for installation in 2" or larger diameter wells. The system is specifically designed to recover free phase petroleum contamination (LNAPL) from the water table. It can also be used to recover free phase DNAPL contamination. The 1.93" diameter probe contains a small but powerful 12vdc electric product pump, as well as the patented Alpha-ArrayTM interface sensors.

The Alpha-Array interface sensors are a multiple field array, all solid state, monolithic, noncontact, fluid-interface sensor that is a spin-off of spacecraft fuel gauging developed for NASA. The use of this interface sensor in the environmental industry is unique. Since it is a noncontact sensor, it is highly immune to fouling, which is a problem with virtually all other types of sensing methods (including conductive, float, optical and even radio frequency methods.

The Magnum Spill Buster Control Box coordinates and displays the condition of the system operation. The control box also allows certain system parameters to be varied and provides an RS-485 communications port for connection to up to 31 other units and a personal computer (PC) up to 3,000 ft. away.

The Auto Seeker is a small motorized reel assembly located at the top of the wellhead. It automatically raises and lowers the probe to follow the product interface and is only limited by the length of the cable. This makes the system operation highly efficient even with large changes in the level of the ground water. The cable fully reels onto the Auto Seeker allowing the system to freely operate in a vault as small as 24" x 24" x 22" deep.

FEATURES

Low profile Auto Seeker motorized reel system allows installation in smaller well head spaces and prevents cable tangling
The system can be used with "floaters" (LNAPLs) or "sinkers" (DNAPLs) with a minor adjustment to the control box
Water depression can be added to the system with our Water Depression Module and water pump
New "slimline" connectors for the cable ends which are extremely rugged and easy to clean
Plastic enclosure with connector "pouch" which provide easy ccess to the cables, adjustable controls and AC wiring
True 24 VDC battery/solar panel operation even for deep wells
