LNAPL Recovery Tip Keeps Costs Down and Recovery
Rates High
Glen Ellyn, IL - BLACKHAWK ENVIRONMENTAL COMPANY, the leading
manufacturer of top head drive positive displacement piston
pumps, introduces their NEW LNAPL (Light Non-Aqueous Phase
Liquids) Recovery Tip Attachment. Blackhawk’s LNAPL
Recovery Tip Attachment, an automated skimming system for
free product recovery, is designed to recover only hydrocarbon
liquids, not groundwater, from two inch or larger wells. The
recovery tip is attached to the lower portion of the top head
drive Blackhawk Environmental’s Pneumatic Trident? and
explosion-proof Electric Anchor Pumps?. Using the LNAPL tip
with the Blackhawk Piston Pumps results in a lower treatment
cost because no excess water, which would have to be treated,
is extracted with the product. Also being a positive displacement
pump, the Blackhawk Environmental Piston pumps generate strong
suction at the point of product intake ensuring the recovery
and none clogging of viscous liquids or biofouling masses.
The Blackhawk LNAPL skimmer is designed to float with the
inlet positioned at the water or product level. At the center
of the float is a hydrophobic element intake that only allows
hydrocarbon liquids to pass through the skimming system, which
effectively recovers the liquids. The skimming system is constructed
of polyethylene, stainless steel, urethane tubing, hydrophobic
materials, nitrophyl float, brass fittings and PVC.
For over 10 years, Blackhawk Environmental Co. has provided
field-tested piston-pumping solutions for petrochemical, refinery,
manufactured gas plant, environmental, landfill and groundwater
remediation applications. Blackhawk specializes in manufacturing
quality pumps and controls for demanding pumping applications.
Blackhawk pumps can be powered pneumatically or electrically
and can work in hazardous or potentially hazardous environments.
