Envco – Environmental Equipment

The Magnum Spill Buster™ system is composed of three interactive modules:

Magnum Spill Buster Control Box
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 256 other units and a Personal Computer (PC) up to 3,000 ft. away. The NEMA 4 weatherproof enclosure with its connector "pouch" provides easy access to the cables, adjustable controls, and AC. wiring. Cable terminations within the connector pouch utilize our unique, size-coded SLIMLINE connectors that pull through underground conduits easily and are color-coded for intuitive placement. They are extremely rugged and very easy to clean.

Auto Seeker
The Auto Seeker is a small, motorized, reel assembly installed on the wellhead. It automatically raises and lowers the probe to follow the NAPL interface through the entire depth of the well. This makes the system operation highly efficient even with large changes in the level of the ground water. The cable fully winds onto the Auto Seeker, allowing the system to freely operate in a vault as small as 24" x 24" x 22" deep. This self-winding feature also means that routine maintenance of the product pump is a matter of pushing a button to reel the probe to the top of the wellhead- eliminating the need to haul an oil-covered cable up by hand to spread out all over the ground.

Alpha-Array Interface Sensors
The 1.93" diameter probe contains a small but powerful 12vdc electric product pump, as well as the patented ALPHA-ARRAY™ interface sensors. These are multiple field array, all solid state, monolithic, non-contact, fluid-interface sensors that are 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 non-contact 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).

Also included with every standard system:
• A Recovery Tank Overflow Sensor with 30' of cable
• 30' Set of Auto Seeker and Probe cable extensions
• 50' of nylon discharge tubing with bung

• 24/7 automatic operation yields steady, impressive, results
• Quiet & low profile- doesn't draw attention in public places
• Speedy, no-fuss maintenance
• Uses less power to operate than a 60 watt bulb
• Technical support from the designer and manufacturer is only a phone call away

Groundwater Remediation Equipment, Accessories

Accessories -
• Immediate Response Box -Magnum Spill Buster Immediate Response BoxThe Immediate Response Box (I.R. Box) is a rugged plastic box that contains a Magnum Spill Buster system. The I.R. Box provides an extremely portable system to start removal of product in a 2" or larger well with minimal equipment set-up. A large forged shackle is attached on one end of the box for security. The I.R. Box can easily be carried in a small pick-up or van. The basic setup involves mounting the Auto Seeker onto the well head, connecting the product tank discharge tube and overflow sensor to the product tank, and connecting the Auto Seeker and Probe signal cables to the Control Panel mounted in the I.R. Box.The system is powered by 115VAC from an extension cord or is hard-wired, or cables can be provided to operate the system from a 24 volt deep cycle battery setup (2 12 volt batteries connected in series).

• Solar Panel Charging Option -Magnum Spill Buster, Solar Panel Charging System for sites with no utility connection available, batteries with a photovoltaic recharging system (solar panels) can fully power the Magnum Spill Buster. The Solar Panel Charging system includes the panels, a heavy-duty frame and mounting hardware, deep-cycle batteries, waterproof control box with regulator, and custom cabling. Configuration of the charging system (size and number of panels) primarily depends on the location of the site and the amount of sunlight available. The duty cycle, or percentage of time the system will run, is also determined by the amount of product present at the site.

• Water Depression Option - A secondary water pump can be used to create a huge hydraulic funnel that pulls product towards the well from greater distances than are attainable with product skimming alone.

Water Table Depression
Dual pump product recovery operation can be accomplished with the Magnum Spill Buster System plus a Water Depression Control Module and a Grundfos Redi-Flo 3 SQE-NE pump sized to your well (minimum well diameter required is 4 inches). The Magnum Water Depression system is designed specifically to take advantage of all the features of the Grundfos Redi-Flo 3 SQE-NE pump.

• Grundfos Redi-Flo 3 pump, with NEC fittings
• Water Depression Control Module

This Module obtains its water level signals and control logic from the Magnum system control box and in turn controls water flow by using the soft start feature of the Grundfos pump to turn it on and off. Clean Earth Technology offers this line of Grundfos submersible pumps with NEC fittings to safely bring the high level AC voltage through the recovery zone to the pump.

A set of normally open contacts is provided for use with a safety override probe, which will shut down the water pump when closed.

Site Master Monitoring and Control Software -
The Magnum Spill Buster may be operated individually or under an optional network control. The network capabilities are provided such that the user may monitor and, if desired, control many Magnums from a single, central location (up to 3,000 feet from the site). The physical layer configuration used by Clean Earth Technology is the industry standard RS-485 differential, multi-drop protocol. This standard provides an inexpensive and robust physical connection to up to 256 units. To this Clean Earth technology has added the simple-to-use Site Master Network software program.

The Site Master, or host, is a Windows application. It can be operated on any system running Microsoft Windows, and configures with a standard RS-485 communications engine. It can also operate as a stand-alone software package. The Site Master polls the Magnum system (slave) continuously to update the current operating status. The status of every unit on the network is displayed on the computer screen for easy monitoring. The operator can change the parameters of a unit or control the unit directly through the graphical user interface of the Site Master.
