Groundwater Pump and Treat System
System for Ground Water Remediation at a Power Generation Plant
MAE2 was asked to provide a system based upon detailed written specifications for a Multi Phase Extraction and Groundwater Treatment system. The system is located at a power generation facility.
The detailed specification required that the system be constructed to meet explosion proof NEC Class 1 Division 1 standards. The entire system had to be inspected approved and labeled by MET Labs. The system uses a Busch high vacuum rotary claw pump to extract impacted groundwater and vapors.
The groundwater is collected in a marine grade aluminum vapor liquid separator and a progressive cavity pump moves the liquids to an oil water separator. Any free product is removed and then a centrifugal pump moves the liquid through liquid phase carbon to treat the dissolved phase gasoline. The system is assembled in an 8’ X 20’ once through land sea container that has been customized with framed interior walls, R13 insulation and a 3200W heater.
Finally, the system will provide run time hours, vacuum trends, and water flow totals recorded through the PLC control panel.
The cellular connection allows full system control and data through easy-to-use web browser access. The instant alarm notification and remote control allows the consultant to immediately respond to any changing site conditions and maximize system run time.
This remediation system uses the following components and subsystems
Rotary Claw Vacuum Pump
PLC Control panel
Bag Filter
Carbon Filtration
Oil Water Separator
Vapor Liquid Separator
Centrifugal Transfer Pump

Groundwater Pump and Treat Systems
Groundwater pump and treat systems utilize downwell pumps to remove contaminated groundwater and then treat it with above ground components. MAE2 offers a full range of electric and pneumatic groundwater pumps to fit your site needs. Custom design the water treatment to include oil water separators, sediment filtration, air stripping and media treatment as needed to meet your discharge requirements.
