Blackhawk pumps' combination of top-head drive (electric, pneumatic or windmill) and low-friction downhole components make them ideal for landfill, petrochemical and other hazardous locations. The drive mechanism is located outside the well, allowing easy installation and field servicing. Unlike air lift pumps that suffer diminished flows at greater depths, these patented, positive-displacement pumps provide constant flow rates. Blackhawk products, incorporating years of customer-driven improvements, pump any liquid, in any environment, at any depth up to 1,000 feet, depending on model choice.

Blackhawk Piston Pumps offer significant advantages:

• Mechanically driven piston pump with top-head drive motor means reliability, simple operation and environmental safety
• Motor is spaced away from the pumping unit and away from the liquid being pumped, resulting in extremely dependable, efficient, easy-to-monitor mechanics
• No high-pressure air or electric power enters the well - explosion-proof option with electric motor
• Pumps liquid at a controlled rate -- reduces risk of over-pumping and dramatically reduces silting and emulsification
• Pumps liquid all the way to the bottom of the well or sump
• Quick, clean field servicing is performed outside the well - limited employee exposure to contaminants and site hazards
• The electric control governs speed, run time, stroke count and dwell, with external options to monitor flow, level and communication
• Piston pumps outperform airlift pumps in efficiency and reliability, and eliminate possible cross-air line contamination (because the compressed air never contacts liquid being pumped)
• No metal-to-metal contact with customizable, patented downhole pump; 10-year warranty is best in the industry
• Constructed of strong, durable materials with chemical-resistant, low-friction pistons
• Unitary fiberglass rod and HDPE tubing provides fast installation and low cost
• Weatherproof, top-head-drive motors are customer tested in all weather conditions
• Pumps do not corrode or freeze up in cold weather
• Pumps are field serviceable, utilizing quick-connect air fittings with an open design for easy operation, visual inspection, maintenance and troubleshooting
• High flow rates up to 16 gpm
• Pumps down to great depths - up to 1,000 feet
• No fugitive gas emissions from pump exhaust
• Strong, quiet pumping - Does not disturb the liquid or formation being pumped, increasing well life and pump production
• Only Blackhawk offers a choice of three drive-motor service options to eliminate down time:
  • Field repairable drive motor
  • Replaceable drive motor
  • Service exchange program
    
• Blackhawk electric and pneumatic pumps are ideal for landfill applications -- side-slope leachate recovery, gas-well dewatering and condensate-recovery sump
