Magnum Spill Buster
1. Summary of Product -
The Magnum Spill Buster™ is an automated free phase petroleum contamination pumping system. It is specifically designed to remove NAPL petroleum product from the water table via a 2" or larger diameter well. Its unique auto-seeking device allows the pump intake to automatically follow the elevation of the oil/water interface as it fluctuates throughout the entire length of the well. The Magnum Spill Buster will not pump any amount of water.The system can be wired to 115 VAC or 230 VAC power or is capable of true 24 VDC deep cycle battery/solar panel operation for remote site locations.
Optional water depression can be added to the system through a Clean Earth Technology Water Depression Module and a Grundfos Redi-Flo 3 water pump. The Magnum is also very compatible with vacuum extraction systems when a dual phase recovery system is desired.
The Magnum Spill Buster™ system is composed of three interactive modules:
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" (shown at right with its protective cover) 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.
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.The 1.93” diameter probe contains the patented ALPHA ARRAY™ interface sensors, as well as a small but powerful 12vdc electric product pump. These sensors 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).
The pump used in the Magnum is a modified diesel fuel pump. This same pump is widely used in the automotive and aeronautic industries as well as military applications. The typical pump installation is inside the fuel tank, operating at 15 volts and fuse limited to15 amps. Even though the pump clearly operates safely under these conditions, we reduce the power output to no more than 12 volts and 7 amps, with redundant amperage limiting circuits. In spite of the fact that we under-drive the pump to ensure safe, reliable operation, it is capable of an industry leading recovery rate (see System Specifications below).

- 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
- Immediate Response Box -
The 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 -
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 -
The result looks something like this:

 |
| 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 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.
