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.
