1" Bladder Pump Operating Instructions Model 407 SS 1" Dia. Operating Principles When the Solinst Bladder Pump is placed in a well or borehole, water rises inside the bladder and sample tubing to static level. Compressed nitrogen or air is supplied to the pump via the drive tubing using a control unit. Applying pressure causes the bladder to compress and closes the bottom check valve, forcing water from the bladder into the sample tubing. During a vent cycle the pressure is released from the drive tubing. The bladder returns to its initial state as water re-enters the pump, while the top check valve prevents water already in the sample tubing from falling back into the bladder. Cycling the drive and vent provides water flow, the rate of which can be adjusted for purging or sampling. Notes: 1. The maximum depth for 1" Bladder Pump operation is 500 ft. (150 m) below grade. 2. DO NOT exceed an operating pressure of 250 psi. 3. The pump has been decontaminated before leaving Solinst, however, you may wish to decontaminate your pump before use. The pump should be decontaminated between wells. Portable Sampling Setup Sample Line Tubing Reel Pump Assembly Portable: The Bladder Pump can be connected to skip-bonded, dual 1/4" OD tubing, mounted on a reel. a) Push the tubing onto the drive and sample stems of the Bladder Pump and secure using dual-ear Oetiker clamps. b) Lower the assembled Bladder Pump into the well, using a stainless steel safety line connected to the eye safety stem on the pump. The Solinst Model 103 Tag Line can be used as a safety line if required. c) Connect the supply line with the in-line dryer from the compressed gas source to the Control Unit. The drive line connects from the Control Unit to the reel (drive and supply lines come with the Model 464 Control Unit). d) Attach a short (3 ft. or 1 m) length of 1/4" OD sample line to the sample connector on the reel. Dedicated: The Bladder Pump is assembled by connecting to a Dedicated Wellhead with 1/4" OD sample and drive line tubing. a) Cut the tubing to desired length. Push the tubing onto the drive and sample stems of the Bladder Pump and secure using dual-ear Oetiker Clamps. b) Attach the sample line and drive line to the appropriate push fitting on the underside of the Wellhead (see diagram at right for use of push fittings and adaptors). c) Lower the Bladder Pump into the well, using a stainless steel safety line connected to the suspension hook on the Wellhead, if desired. Push the Wellhead down firmly onto the riser casing. d) Attach a short (3 ft. or 1 m) length of sample line to the sample fitting on the Wellhead (see diagram at right for use of push fittings and adaptors). e) Connect the supply line with the in-line dryer from the compressed gas supply to the Control Unit. The drive line connects from the Control Unit to the top of the Wellhead (drive and supply lines come with the Model 464 Control Unit).

Oetiker Pliers (#100144) SS Pump Body 103522 Operating Principles A Drop Tube Assembly allows samples to be obtained from greater depths then the standard maximum 500 ft. (150 m) below grade for stainless steel Integra Bladder Pumps. The Drop Tube places the screened filter intake of the Pump as deep as necessary to access the sample zone desired. The Drop Tube Assembly is easily installed on existing Pumps, even in the field. Pumps are operated in the same manner as those without a Drop Tube, which maintains high sample integrity. 106140 #V116 O-ring 103493 1. Select and cut the appropriate length of 1/2" OD x 3/8" ID tubing. The most common type of tubing used is low density polyethylene (LDPE). Note: Other sizes and types of tubing may also be used, however, the end user will need to supply their own tubing and tubing adaptors. 2. Being careful to retain the check balls, unscrew and remove the Filter Retainer (with the filter screen) from the Bottom Platen of the Pump. Keep this for attachment later. 3. Insert the Check Ball into the stem of the Top Drop Tube Extension. 4. Ensure there is a #V116 O-ring over the stem of the Top Drop Tube Extension, and tighten by hand into the Bottom Platen of the pump. 5. Place one Oetiker clamp over the Tube Adaptor on the bottom of the Top Drop Tube Extension. 6. Push one end of the 1/2" OD x 3/8" ID tubing over the Tube Adaptor on the bottom of the Top Drop Tube Extension. 7.

Operating Pressure 125 psi Auto on/off Feature Setting: 90 psi - on 125 psi - off Cord Length: 7 ft (2 m) ON/OFF Switch Ball Valve & Handle 7 ft (2 m) Cable Operating Instructions Notes: • The air tank is rated to 150 psi. • If a car battery is used, be sure the vehicle is running as the compressor will drain the battery quickly. If a stand alone battery is used, the battery will drain in approximately 20 minutes. • It is recommended not to alter the power cord for use with a cigarette lighter adapter. • The compressor is thermally protected, therefore it will automatically shut off if it overheats. Once the compressor has cooled sufficiently, it will power up once again. 1. Connect the pressure line from the Solinst pump control unit to the pressure outlet on the 12 Volt Compressor. 2. Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position before connecting to the power source. The ball valve handle on the side of the compressor should also be in the OFF position before connecting. 3. Connect the compressor to a 12 volt DC power source (such as a car battery) using the alligator clips. The red clip should connect to the positive terminal on the power source, and the black should connect to a proper ground or to the negative terminal on the power source. 4. Once the compressor has been connected to the power source and to all pressure lines, switch the compressor ON. This will begin to charge the tank to 125 psi, which takes approximately 4 minutes. 5. Once the tank has been fully charged to 125 psi, switch the ball valve to the ON position. 6. Once pumping begins, the air pressure in the tank will drop to 90 psi. The compressor will then recharge to 125 psi or to the selected pumping rate. Printed in Canada May 9, 2014 (#109486) Pressure Outlet Draining Valve Maintenance After every 20 hours of operation, the compressor tank should be vented first, then drained. If the compressor is being operated in more humid conditions, it may need to be drained more often. Note: If not draining the tank, it is not necessary to vent the tank, before disconnecting the supply and drive lines. All of these air fittings are designed to safely connect and disconnect under pressure. If the tank is empty, or at a very low pressure, it will be easier to connect/disconnect the lines. To vent/release the air pressure from the compressor, turn the compressor OFF and disconnect the clips from the power source. Ensure the ball valve handle is in the ON position. With the drive and sample lines still connected to the pump control unit, select “Drive” on the pump control unit until the compressor’s pressure gauge shows 0 psi. Note: Do not open the draining valve until all air in the compressor tank has been released (gauge shows 0 psi). To drain the compressor tank, turn the draining valve on the underside of the tank counterclockwise to open. This allows condensation/water to exit the tank.

The drive gas is usually air or nitrogen delivered through portable gas cylinders or an air compressor. Portability to the site and the pressure requirement for the application, are the main deciding factors. The selection of either compressed nitrogen or air, to use as the drive gas, is made based on the availability, as well as the potential for affecting groundwater sample quality. Gas volume is usually expressed as CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). As a 'rule of thumb', it takes about 1 CFM of gas (air or nitrogen) to deliver 1 USGPM (US Gallon per Minute) of water, at 0 psi. If you opt to sample with an air compressor, you should also consider using a 50% duty cycle or, 'factor of safety', for the compressor. This 50% duty cycle ensures that the air compressor won't be running all the time. Pumping Pressure Determining the amount of applied pressure (in psi) to retrieve a sample, is simple. 1 psi of pressure can raise a 2.3 ft column of water, which is about half of the column height of water in feet, expressed as psi. e.g. If the Bladder Pump's intake is at 100 ft below ground surface, you will require approximately 50 psi of pressure to bring a sample to ground surface. If you are sampling with a Double Valve Pump, then this calculation is made from ground level to static water level (as a minimum, but can be made from total pump depth to maximize purging rates). Therefore, if a Double Valve Pump is 100 ft below ground surface, and static water level is at 50 ft, you can select a pressure of between 25 and 50 psi. With both Bladder Pumps and Double Valve Pumps, add an extra 10 psi to allow for “line loss”. Tip: What do you do when your pnuematic pump is properly connected, yet there is no sample discharge? A simple 'trick', is to submerge the sample discharge line into a clear container of water. During the drive cycle, you should see bubbles. An aggressive blast of air bubbles can mean that there is no water available, while a steady mild bubbling indicates that the pump is operating and the sample water is on the way up! Printed in Canada May 5, 2008 e.g. To collect a sample from a depth to water of 100 ft (30 m), using a Double Valve Pump at a rate of 0.05 USGPM (200 mL/min), the calculation is: 0.05 USGPM (200 mL/min) x 1.5 (includes a 50% duty cycle) = a drive gas requirement of 0.075 CFM, or about 0.1 CFM. Now the user needs to select an air compressor that will supply a minimum of 0.1 CFM at 50 psi pressure. This is done by checking the manufacturer's data sheet to see that the CFM needed will meet the output delivery for the required pressure. Considering a 50% duty cycle, the Solinst 12 Volt Air Compressor (pt.#106009) will deliver 0.1 CFM at 50 psi, which is equivalent to a 100 ft (30 m) pumping depth. A larger compressor should be used for deeper applications. Pump Controller When selecting a pump controller, look for easy to follow preset pumping options. This helps take the guesswork out of determining suitable drive and vent times. For example, if you anticipate that the monitoring well has good recharge and 'makes water', then select a 'fast' cycle rate (~6 sec/cycle of drive & vent times); in poorly producing, or 'slow to recharge' wells, a longer cycle rate of ~115 sec may be more suitable. To help protect the pump controller from damage due to moisture, always position the pump controller physically higher than the sample discharge and wellhead. This helps prevents a syphoning effect, where the gravity back-flow of sample water can enter into the pump controller. Note that there will be a time delay from when the pump controller is turned 'ON', to when an actual water sample is discharged at ground surface. This time delay could be as much as several minutes.

Through the work of Puls and Barcelona, the US EPA released standard operating procedures for low flow sampling (EPA/540/S-95/504). Following such guidelines ensures the collection of samples that are representative of actual in-situ conditions. Low flow purging and sampling involves extracting groundwater at rates comparable to ambient groundwater flow (typically less than 500 ml/min), so that the drawdown of the water level is minimized, and the mixing of stagnant water with water from the screened intake area in a well is reduced. Stabilization of parameters (pH, D.O., conductivity, temperature, etc.) and turbidity of the purged water are monitored before a sample is taken, thus low flow methods facilitate equilibrium with the surrounding formation and produce samples that are truly representative of the formation water. Automating the pumping rate or the drawdown is often not a good idea for wells with slow recharge. When the rate of recharge is slower than the pumping rate, an unwanted instantaneous purge can occur rather than a preferred slow and steady pumping rate that approximates the well's recovery rate. Rapid removal of water in low hydraulic conductivity formations increases the velocity of water flowing back into a well, creating turbulence and turbidity as the well recharges. Some automated pumping control devices stop a drive cycle as soon as the water level goes below the sensor; the drive cycle is restarted after the sensor detects water again (the well has recovered). This may lead to incomplete drive cycles and inconsistent flow rates rather than the preferred slow gentle pumping rate. A water level drawdown indicator used to monitor drawdown beyond a set level, may not operate as intended, and may not be ideal for low flow sampling. A suitable device should allow the water to fall slowly to a maximum drawdown of less than 0.1 meter (or 1% of the standing column of water) while monitoring the entire pumping process. In fast recovery/recharge wells, setting an automatic pump controller to maintain a minimal drawdown (less than 0.1 meter) is quite feasible. Proper drive and vent times are easy to determine and set. There is no need to use extra equipment such as a water level drawdown sensor to regulate the pump controller. Low flow methods allow the collection of high quality, representative groundwater samples in 40 ml glass vials for VOC analysis. Automation May Not Be Best Pneumatic gas drive pumps operated by automated pump controllers are often chosen as the desired equipment for low flow purging and sampling; however, automating these samplers may not be the best approach. In the end - as with any field equipment - the best practice is to have the field sampler or technician adjust the equipment to suit the pumping characteristics of each well, rather than rely on automated devices.

Solinst Integra Bladder Pumps are ideal for low flow sampling. Pumps are either Stainless Steel or PVC, and are 1.66" (42 mm) or 1" (25 mm) in diameter. Bladders are available in Teflon® or LDPE. Solinst Low Flow Instruments Solinst offers a variety of equipment for use in low flow applications. Double Valve Pumps and Integra® Bladder Pumps are able to provide flow rates as low as 100 ml/min, using the Solinst Electronic Pump Control Unit. The Integra Bladder Pump allows very slow, steady compression of the bladder during a drive cycle, unlike some other samplers, as it can be set to provide a consistent rate comparable to ambient groundwater flow. This results in representative, high quality undisturbed VOC samples. Using low flow techniques, turbulence is reduced and off-gassing minimized, providing more accurate and reliable VOC sample collection. A submerged Levelogger Gold water level data logger, used with a Leveloader Gold or laptop, can provide viewing of real-time water level readings in the field and allows actual drawdown to be monitored during purging and sampling. Pumps can be operated manually based on the Levelogger readings. ® Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont Corp.

Sampling has evolved from earlier techniques of bailing and high rate pumping, to techniques of minimal drawdown and low flow pumping. Low flow pumping has been proven to provide consistent, highly representative groundwater samples. By maintaining flow rates of 500 ml/min or less, sample extraction is kept at a rate comparable to ambient groundwater flow and drawdown is minimized, thus reducing turbidity and disturbance in the well. Reduced agitation is particularly important for accurate measurement of dissolved volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in groundwater; too much agitation can cause degassing of VOCs to the atmosphere. High Quality Pumps Solinst Bladder Pumps meet US EPA guidelines for low flow and VOC groundwater sampling. Chemical concentrations of VOCs can be easily lost through vaporization if the sample comes into contact with air. Bladder Pumps provide assurance that there is no contact between the sample water and the drive gas. When in a well, hydrostatic pressure fills the pump’s bladder. Drive gas is applied, which fills the area around the bladder and closes the bottom check valve. Compression of the bladder forces water up into the sample tubing. During a vent cycle, the top check valve closes, keeping water in the sample tubing. The bottom check valve opens and water again enters the bladder. The drive gas never comes in contact with the sample. 12 Volt Compressor 1" SS Bladder Pump Model 464 Portable Sampling Setup Application Solinst Bladder pumps are suitable for use in various environments and applications, including municipal, industrial, and general environmental site assessments. As an example, a Brownfield site with contaminated groundwater is set for redevelopment. It is imperative to acquire accurate samples of VOC concentrations from an on-site groundwater monitoring well in order to properly address exposure and remediation concerns. The depth to water in the well is 95 ft. (29 m) with the screened interval at 100 to 105 ft. (30 m to 32 m) below ground surface. A stainless steel Bladder Pump (1.66" (42 mm) ø or 1" (25 mm) ø) with a Teflon® bladder is ideal for this application. The Solinst Model 464 Pump Control Unit is used to control the supply of compressed gas to the pump. The Control Unit, along with a Solinst 12 Volt Air Compressor, ® Solinst is a registered trademark of Solinst Canada Ltd. allows very slow compression of the bladder, which creates ideal sampling conditions for representative samples. The Model 464 provides 125 psi output and can be set to sample at 100 ml/min or less. To obtain a sample from the middle of the screened interval, or slightly above (about 102 ft. (31 m)), the Control Unit should be set to output at least 50 psi, as it takes about 1 psi to raise a column of water 2 ft (0.6 m). To achieve a low flow rate, careful attention is required to choose the correct drive/vent cycle. The Model 464 has preset sampling modes to choose from. The low flow preset has a 50 second drive time that results in slow compression of the bladder, and a 25 second vent period to allow steady refill of the bladder. Alternatively, to adjust the flow rate to better suit the site, a unique drive/vent cycle can be created and saved in the Control Unit memory. The saved flow rate setting can be used each time that well is sampled. Another well on site is known to contain corrosive contaminants of concern. To get accurate samples here, it is best to use a PVC pump (1.66" (42 mm) ø) and a disposable LDPE bladder. The bladder is lower in cost, so decontamination and reuse is not an issue. In both cases, dedicating a pump to each well avoids cross contamination, and also reduces column disturbance that can be caused by repeated lowering of the pumps. Conclusion Overall, high quality groundwater sampling requires preparation, the proper technique and the right equipment. To meet the needs of project managers, Solinst offers convenient sampling solutions for various applications, especially where VOC analysis is the focus. ®Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont Corp.
