Press Release Summary:
Designed to perform in several landfill applications, Edge Pneumatic Piston Pump(TM) maintains constant flow rates regardless of TDH. Model 101 pumps down to 281 ft, while Model 102 pumps at constant 5.0 U.S. gpm to beyond 160 ft. With drivers and controls located above wellhead to facilitate service, products can pump highly viscous, hot, and harsh chemical liquids and feature dry running capability. Both models pump to well bottom, with controlled draw down and no wasted head over pump.
Original Press Release:
Blackhawk's New, Low-Cost Edge(TM) Pneumatic Pump Offers Performance Superior to Airlifts at Affordable Prices
Above-well-driver matches air consumption, yet with more powerful lift, greater reliability
GLEN ELLYN, IL - Blackhawk Technology Company, the industry leader in above-well-drive piston pumps, is introducing the Edge Pneumatic Piston Pump(TM) in two models, which deliver performance superior to popular airlifts at competitive prices.
The Edge Model 101 pumps deeper than airlifts, to 281feet (85.6 meters). Models 101 and 102 maintain constant flow rates regardless of TDH -- airlift models suffer from rapidly diminishing flows as head increases at lower levels in the well or sump.
Edge Model 102 pumps at a constant 5.0 U.S. gallons per minute (18.9 lpm) to beyond 160 feet (49 meters). The 102 delivers increasingly positive flow comparisons vs. airlifts beyond 60 feet (17 meters) of head. Yet the more powerful 102 matches airlifts' SCF air consumption.
The Edge is an everyday workhorse pump designed to perform across several landfill applications, including leachate pumping, gas-well dewatering and condensate recovery sump. In addition to the low purchase price, the Edge significantly reduces lifetime operational expenses. Rugged materials and a clean, simple design contribute to long pump life. Because drivers and controls are above the wellhead, servicing is easier and safer. The Edge requires far less maintenance than airlifts, with no pump pulling and no pumps lost down the well.
As with Blackhawk's other pneumatic, electric and solar piston pumps, the Edge can pump highly viscous, hot and harsh chemical liquids, and can run dry. The Edge joins the next-generation Atlas 2.5® heavy duty piston pump and the newly developed V-2(TM) mid-range piston pump in Blackhawk's new lineup of pneumatics, which also excel in remediation of floating and sinking product and directional pumping.
Other Blackhawk piston-pump advantages include:
"Industry engineers, owners and managers have been asking for this pump, with the power to go deep at attractive SCFM and flow rates against high head - all at highly affordable prices," Mark Bertane, Blackhawk president said. "Low price definitely does not mean low quality. The Edge is an excellent example of Blackhawk's ongoing technological advancements, giving customers what we believe is the best price/performance value in the industry."
Blackhawk Technology Company is the originator and the No. 1 manufacturer of above-wellhead, positive-displacement piston pumps - leading-edge technology refined by more than 20 years of customer-driven improvements. Blackhawk continues to introduce innovative products to the industry's most comprehensive line of electric, pneumatic, solar and windmill-driven piston pumps and pump supplies, all designed to withstand the harshest weather and downhole pumping environments.
Founded in 1990, the company originated landfill and groundwater remediation piston pumps now covered by several patents and marks, with more pending. No company offers more real-world piston-pumping experience in tough landfills, chemical facilities, hydrocarbon production and remediation sites throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
