Thumbs up from customers for Geotech leachate pumps

Customers spoke of their Geotech AP Pump experiences saying they offer excellent, top-level reliability and value for money, when Geotech asked customers to rate its pumps.

Service life is tough for pumps in corrosive leachate and fitness for purpose, high quality and guaranteed reliability carry a proportionate price. Concerned to ensure it was offering best value for money, Geotech recently surveyed users of its AP Pumps.

Geotech asked about the reliability of its pumps in operation on site over others. One telling answer was, “The best way of demonstrating this is to say that the site managers all want the AP pumps on their sites and other pumps sent to other sites. Of course they all can’t have it that way.” Another said, “The pumps are the most reliable from any manufacturer - they will give many years of trouble free service.

“I think the APs are definitely considered quite expensive but then, from talking to other operators they still seem to have unrivalled reliability,” said another. “Very reliable,” “Good reliability,” and “Considering the environment these pumps work in and their reliability, we consider these pumps excellent value for money,” added others. They said they service the pumps from between every three to every six months and Geotech’s view is that routine inspection and servicing is key to a very long service life for a leachate pump.

Customers servicing pumps brings the Geotech aftersales product support into the spotlight and so it asked customers to rate its aftersales service. Customers said it is, “Excellent,” “Very good,” and “After sales assistance is, in our experience, the best we receive from any of our suppliers.”

Protecting CHP/gas engines in EfW

Another critical application for these pumps is in energy-from-waste (EfW) to remove condensate from landfill gas in knockout pots. So as not to damage the engine it is absolutely essential that condensate is reliably pumped out and dryer gas goes to the EfW CHP engine. On that a customer volunteered, “The AP helps … to maintain compliance and reliability in knockout pots to keep gas engines running efficiently.”

PPC / Remediation
Geotech asked, how its AP pumps assist in PPC permitting and received this telling answer: “We have a number of remote sites which depend on reliable extraction as part of Permit Improvement Conditions to remove an agreed volume of leachate and so it is vital that the pumps run reliably without any supervision. The Geotech AP pump is ideal for this situation.”
