F.A.P. Plus™Pump

Application:

• 2 inch or larger wells
• Recover a wide range of products from light-end hydrocarbons (with SSU values of 80 or lower; for example gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic fluids) to move viscous products such as #6 heating oils.

Description:
The F.A.P. Plus™ Pump system is comprised of seven main components:

• F.A.P. Plus™Pump
• Skimmer Assembly
• Well Clincher
• Pneumatic Overfill Protection Device
• Filter/Regulator Assembly
• Electric Air Compressor
• Hoses

The F.A.P. Plus™ Pump (TR-516) consists of a flexible, special inner bladder and a flexible Buna-N® hose, which forms the outer pump body. The integral controller is housed inside the stainless steel chamber and is factory preset for 15 cycles per minutes providing optimum pumping rate.

The pump operates by alternately inflating and deflating the annular space between the inner bladder and the outer hose. The pump is capable of producing a suction of 17 inches of mercury for the recovery of viscous product and operation in deep wells up to 200 feet. The F.A.P. Plus™ Pump can operate dry or in the coiled position without damage. It may be installed at the surface in shallow well applications. The F.A.P. Plus™ requires a minimum of 60 psi for optimal performance.

Skimmer Assembly

The skimmer is attached to the bottom of the F.A.P. Plus™ pump and is used to separate the product from the water in the well. Depending on your site conditions, three types of skimmers are available: standard, high viscosity and density skimmers.

A. Standard Skimmer (TR-517)
The standard skimmer is used to recover gasoline, jet fuel and most diesel fuels. It combines a density float, a special hydrophobic element, a product bypass, a hollow guide rod and a coiled hose.
B. High Viscosity Skimmer (TR-70410)
This skimmer is used when the product has a viscosity higher than 80 SSU, such as oils.
C. Density Skimmers (TR-704, TR-706, TR-712)
Density skimmers are used when there is less than 18 inches of fluid from the bottom of the well to the water/products interface.

Filter/Regulator
The 5 micron coalescing and auto-drain device is used to filter compressed air to operate the pump.
