Anchor Electric Piston Pump Brings Section of Landfill Back Into Compliance

A Midwest disposal facility found use of an Anchor Electric 101 top-head drive piston pump to effectively mitigate the effect of a crushed side slope well.

Early in 2003, during routine sampling of the secondary sump, the pump became stuck during extraction. Working as a team, the owner, designer, and contractor created a shaft-accessed repair design plan.

The design included extending a 10-foot diameter steel cased shaft to a depth of approximately 60 feet below waste surface and cutting a section of liner plate so it would conform to the shape of the sump.

Side-Slope Pumps Replace Crusty Submersibles

A large cylindrical top-head drive pump lies on its side in an open grassy area. Several pipes extend from the pump, which seems to be disconnected from its original setup. A wooden stake and additional piping are visible nearby. The sky is partly cloudy.

After Hot, Aging Landfill Adds Gas System, Blackhawk Side-Slopes Take Over for Crusty Submersibles

A large, older landfill in a Southern state was baffled by significant changes in its operating characteristics after installing a landfill gas system.

The conscientiously well-run site, opened more than 20 years ago, always has been challenging — extremely harsh, hot and highly volatile. The regional gas manager called it more than a typical landfill, with high variability and breadth in the stream of accepted waste — 40-50 percent trash, 10 percent construction debris, plus significant amounts of industrial waste, bio solids, sludges, solidified liquids, offset products, ash and heavy metals. Industrial waste and fill are used as cover. There is little oxygen and no leachate fingerprint, the manager says.

INNOVATIVE PUMPING OFFERS HORIZONTAL GAS PIPE DEWATERING SOLUTIONS

A West Coast landfill called on Blackhawk Technology
Company to dewater remote gas wells no longer served
by electric or pneumatic power.

The closed Class D site includes 6-inch vertical wells
to depths of 100 feet with a 1¼-inch gas discharge.
More challenging has been dewatering near-horizontal
side-slope trenches in the closed section of the landfill.
Some customizing and experimenting with Blackhawk
Apollo™ solar piston pumps have been most effective.
