An Argument for the Most Versatile Combo in Environmental Pumping

It’s simple, dependable, cost-effective, portable, versatile, durable and moves virtually anything that flows. Three ingredients: 1) The “old-reliable” piston-pump downhole, 2) the top-head driver (with only four moving parts) and 3) the solar panel.

The combination is increasingly being used at landfills, toxic-remediation sites, biogas and pipeline condensate operations, coal-ash and coal-tar recovery zones, petrochemical plants, remote/closed sites and for other applications benefitting from low-flow, controlled pumping not served by trenched power.

New-model Anchor Electric pump boosts hydrocarbon-removal 17% at old MW chemical plant

Blackhawk Technology’s latest-generation Anchor Electric Piston Pump®, installed to remove toxic hydrocarbons at a former industrial chemical-processing plant in the Midwest, has improved flow rates there by more than 17 percent, according to the project manager.

The new Anchor replaces a sturdy, older Blackhawk electric unit that had been serving for more than 10 years at the site. And although pleased with the long-term results of the older pump, the manager decided to upgrade.

Aussie steel plant: ‘performed exactly as we hoped’

In 2015, engineers at an Australian steel plant works discovered tar in an environmental-monitoring bore.

As part of the investigation and plan for remediation, the company put in a 2-foot diameter, 12-foot-deep well, topping it with a modified-extended version of Blackhawk’s versatile V-2 Pneumatic Piston Pump™ later in the year.

The engineers decided to link the discharge hose to a skip bin (dumpster), with an overflow hose for ground water return to the well. When filled, the bin is emptied using a vacuum truck. The tar is then taken to the company’s recycling plant.
