  • Page 4: Introduction

    The ADDP system is powered by compressed air and requires no electricity. It is capable of flows from 0 to 15 gallons per minute (GPM), li ing from 22 feet or less below ground at sea level, and pushing with a force of 100 psi (231 feet of water column).

  • Page 5: Chapter 1: Equipment

    ADDP Manual QED Environmental Systems Chapter 1: Equipment EQUIPMENT The system is comprised of four basic components: 1) Double Diaphragm Pump 2) Two stage air filter/regulator 3) Well level control valve 4) Hoses and fi ings 1) DOUBLE DIAPHRAGM PUMP (DDP) •...
  • Page 6 ADDP Manual Chapter 1: Equipment • The first air filter/regulator (5 micron particulate filter) has a gauge and quick connect fi ings for the compressed air coming from the compressor. This filter has an automatic drain valve which activates when the fluid level rises in the filter bowl.

  • Page 12: Chapter 2: Operation

    ADDP Manual Chapter 2: Operation OPERATION SAFETY FEATURES The ADDP system minimizes the potential for accident with the following safeguards: • All components are air-driven. • All air hoses have automatic shut off quick connects which prevents injury due to accidental high pressure discharge.

    ADDP Manual QED Environmental Systems Chapter 3: Assembly ASSEMBLY NOTE: When operating and maintaining the system, disconnect air and fluid lines cautiously to avoid spilling fluids. • Wear safety goggles to protect eyes from any splashing or pressure release. • Wear chemically resistant rubber gloves when pulling the hoses from the well to avoid skin contact with the product being recovered.

  • Page 16: Chapter 4: Installation

    This chapter describes the installation of the air compressor. AIR COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION: QED Environmental Systems usually does not supply the air compressor. It is best to buy the compressor from a local supplier who provides service. NOTE: An automatic drain on the compressor receiver tank significantly reduces the load on the air filters, extends the life of the filter elements and reduces system maintenance.
  • Page 17 ADDP Manual QED Environmental Systems The 2 and 3 HP compressors should have 60 to 80 gallon tanks. A 5 HP compressor should have an 80 gallon tank and the 7-1/2 HP and 10 HP compressors should have a 120 gallon tank.
  • Page 18 ADDP Manual Chapter 4: Installation Do not lubricate the compressed air coming out of the compressor. The air filters are designed to remove oil from the compressed air. If there is too much oil in the compressed air, it will reach the control and possibly cause a shut-down.

  • Page 19: Chapter 5: Start-Up

    ADDP Manual QED Environmental Systems Chapter 5: Start Up START-UP Once the hoses are connected and the system is receiving compressed air (between 40 and 100 psi), fluid can be pumped. The rate of the pumping (cycle rate of the DDP) can be adjusted by opening or closing the needle valve in the air hose going from the pneumatic circuit to the DDP.

  • Page 20: Chapter 6: Maintenance

    ADDP Manual Chapter 4: Assembly and Installation Chapter 6: Maintenace MAINTENANCE The air filters should be changed periodically depending upon the cleanliness of the air coming from the compressor. Both air filters have an automatic drain valve that drains the filter bowl of water. The valves function satisfactorily as long as the air is not very oily.
  • Page 21 ADDP Manual QED Environmental Systems TWO STAGE AIR FILTER/REGULATOR MAINTENANCE: If the air is clean and dry, the system should operate trouble-free for years. The air filters consist of a 5 micron and 0.01 micron oil coalescing filter. All have replaceable elements.
  • Page 22 These notes are included as a general guide only. Although QED usually does not supply the compressor, this section is provided to help the operator. If the system receives clean, oil-free air from the compressor, maintenance will significantly be reduced.
  • Page 23 ADDP Manual QED Environmental Systems Compressor Maintenance: Pressure and Speed - Never operate the compressor at pressures or speeds in excess of those recommended by the compressor manufacturer. Every compressor assembly must have a safety valve installed and should be set at either the maximum tank working pressure or 25 psi over the actual pressure of the pump, whichever is less.

    Problems can possibly occur and can easily be resolved by following the instructions below. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to call QED Environmental Systems (QED) Service Department. Excessive oil contamination from the air supply or exposure to freezing conditions may cause damage that requires assistance from QED.
