| CONTROL CHOICES: Flow, Drawdown, and Stabilization ![]() Flow Rate The new MP10 MicroPurge® basicsTM Controller revolutionizes sampling pump flow control by making it simple, stable, and repeatable. Simple faster/slower keystrokes set the flow rate you want, smoothly and accurately. There's no overshooting or flow rate fluctuation that can disturb the well, and no danger of overheating the pump or your sample, as with electric pumps. Optimized settings for each well are identified for easy recall later. Drawdown The unique, new MP30 MicroPurge basics Drawdown Control and Level Meter connects to the MicroPurge basics Controllers and automatically keeps well drawdown within the limits you choose. If drawdown reaches the limit, the MP30 alerts you and signals the basics controller to pause purging until the well recovers. Parameter Stabilization The easy-to-use, new MP20 MicroPurge basics Flow Cell incorporates QED's exclusive PurgeScanTM technology (patent pending), which automatically signals stabilization of selected water quality parameters and stores purging data. ![]() There's no need to plot curves or perform simultaneous calculations. And the molded, one-piece Flow Cell is designed with low volume and built-in stirring for quick response. POWER CHOICES: Compressors and Gas Cylinders Power OptionsThe MicroPurge® basicsTM system provides new options to power your sampling equipment and extend your reach. Whether you can drive right to the wells, need an air hose extension, or require portable equipment for remote locations, this system has all the right choices for your sampling program. Oilless Compressors The new, lightweight MP40 engine-driven compressor packs all the power you need into a tough, compact unit that weighs only 48 pounds. Powered by a 4.0 HP Honda gasoline or propane engine, the MP40 is housed in a rugged, welded aluminum cage for protection and easy handling. An optional Cart Kit and/or 200' Extended Reach Air Hose Reel can increase your mobility greatly. Electric Compressor For even lighter travel, QED's 15 pound, proven 3020 Electric Compressor is a convenient, reliable air source. The 12VDC compressor can even be powered by your vehicle's battery. Compressed Gas Cylinders MicroPurge basics equipment can also be used easily with your existing compressed air, nitrogen, or CO2 cylinders. CONTROL & POWER in one compact unit A new, self-contained controller/ compressed gas backpack, the MP15 Control & Power Pack is a complete sampling system with one-person portability. The hands-free unit allows sampling personnel easy access to the most remote sites. Liquid CO2 cylinder provides hours of pumping capacity. Bypass air fitting permits use of other air sources at closer wells. |
