Integra Bladder Pump

About Solinst Integra Bladder Pumps:

The Solinst Integra Low Flow Pump allows consistent, high quality samples in all types of applications. It offers excellent performance and reliability you would expect from a Solinst groundwater sampling pump. It is designed to meet the most rigorous US EPA standards for groundwater monitoring.

The Teflon bladder ensures that drive air or gas does not contact the sample, thus avoiding degassing or contamination of the sample. Integra Pumps are rugged and long lasting. The Teflon bladder has a 10 year warranty. Both bladders and intake filters are easily replaced in the field in just a few minutes.

Solinst offers 1.66” diameter (42mm) Integra Pumps in 316 stainless steel or PVC, in 2ft. and 4ft. lengths (610mm and 1220mm). Stainless steel Integra pumps are ideal for low flow sampling or regular flow sampling from lift depths up to 500 ft. (150m) below grade. The 1.66” PVC Integra operates up to 100 ft. (30m) below grade and the 1” (25mm) stainless steel Integra operates to depths of 250ft. (80m).

Environmental Equipment and Supply can build you a dedicated bladder pump system for your monitoring well.

 

Operation:

Solinst Goundwater Pump When an Integra Bladder Pump is lowered into a well the hydraulic pressure of the water allows formation water to enter the central Teflon chamber (the bladder) through the inlet filter. When gas or air pressure is applied to the drive line it circulates into the space around the bladder, causing it to collapse, and pushing the water up into the sample line. Check valves ensure that no water flows back down into the pump or the formation. When the gas/air pressure is vented (released) more formation water enters the bladder pump. When the pressure is reapplied, once again the fresh formation water is pushed up towards the surface. The pressure/vent cycles are repeated, providing a steady flow of water up the sample line, without any stripping of volatile gases from the sample. Turbidity is minimized due to the low flow rate and gentle pumping action. Thus a high quality VOC groundwater sample is obtained.

Benefits:

  • High Quality Samples: - Consistently accurate samples with excellent VOC sample integrity.
  • Simplicity:- The controller, air compressor and flow-through cell can be easily transported by one person to any site.
  • Cost Savings:- Reduced need for repeat sampling and shorter time required for each sampling round.
  • Bladder Life:- Guaranteed for 10 years.
  • Low purge volumes ensure rapid sampling.
  • Hookup to the pump is by quick-connect fittings.
  • Leachate/Product Pumping: - pneumatic drive pumps are well suited for pumping contaminant liquids. Strong solvents and corrosive chemicals are easily and economically pumped.

We are proud to offer the high quality groundwater pump that Solinst offers in the Integra Bladder pump. Its versatility is only rivaled by it's reliability. Whatever your application, VOC monitoring, area pump sampling, to fluid sampling pump, look no further than Solinst's Integra bladder pump!
