•
Point all hoses away from personnel and equipment when connecting or disconnecting.
• Always ensure that the fluid discharge hose is connected before the air hose to prevent
accidental discharge.
The AutoPump System minimizes the potential for accidents with the following safeguards:
Fire and Explosion Protection
Almost all of QED underground fluid extraction systems are pneumatic. This offers many
inherent fire and explosion protection features:
• Compressed air lines eliminates electrical wiring in hazardous areas.
• Aluminum or fiberglass enclosures prevent sparking.
• Standard systems use brass fittings to help eliminate sparking hazard.
Personal Protection
On-site, service and maintenance personnel can safely use
QED
equipment. Safety-
in-use is the primary design feature in all systems. Following are some samples:
• All standard high pressure air hoses have automatic shut off quick-connects on the
supply side which prevents injury due to hose whip or air blown particles.
• Metal regulators and filter bowls are rated at 150 psi. The metal air filter bowl
is made of aluminum, providing greater pressure and chemical resistance than
plastic bowls and it is less prone to damage if dropped.
Spill Protection
On-site spills cannot always be prevented.
QED
equipment is designed to take into
consideration such unpredictable occurrences that may happen despite strict adherence to
standardized safety practices.
•
The
standard air and fluid hoses are rated at over 800 psi burst pressure to prevent
accidental hose breakage.
•
Down well quick-connects have locking features to prevent accidental disconnections.
