Integra Bladder PumpHigh Quality Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring InstrumentationModel 407 Data SheetBladder PumpModel 407The Solinst IntegraTM Bladder Pump allows consistent, highquality samples in all types of applications. It offers excellentperformance and reliability. With Integra Bladder Pumps thereis the assurance that there is no air/water contact duringsampling. It meets the most rigorous US EPA standards forVOC groundwater monitoring.The bladder ensures that drive air or gas does not contact the sample, thus avoiding degassing or contamination of thesample. Integra Pumps are rugged and long lasting. Teflon®bladders are ideal for dedication, while less expensivepolyethylene bladders are available for those that prefer tochange bladders after each use. Bladders and intake filters areeasily replaced in the field in just a few minutes. No specialtools required.Excellent for either regular flow or low flow sampling, the stainlesssteel pumps can lift from depths up to 500 ft (150 m) below grade.The PVC Integra operates up to 100 ft (30 m) below grade.Low Flow Purge and SamplingLow flow sampling offers excellent quality samples by reducingturbulence. It also reduces purge volumes, and thus samplingtime and disposal costs. When using the Solinst Model 466Electronic Pump Control Unit, the Solinst Integra BladderPump can be adjusted to provide continuous output of 100 ml/min. or less. Use of a Flow-Through Cell System during low flow sampling,allows the continuous analysis of purge water, in-line, as it flows, sothat sampling can begin as soon as the readings stabilize. Packers are also available to further reduce purge volumes andto speed sampling times.® Teflon is a registered trademark of Dupont Corp.FeaturesStainless Steel or Low Cost PVC: 1.66" Ø (42 mm) and 1" Ø (25 mm) in 316 stainless steel. 1.66" Ø (42 mm) in PVC.Non-Vertical Applications: Pumps operate effectively atalmost any angle and can be placed under landfills, tailings,storage tanks or contaminant plumes.Leachate/Product Pumping: Pneumatic drive pumps are wellsuited for pumping contaminant liquids.

The bladder most frequently used isTeflon, however polyethylene bladders are also available.This is the ideal sampling pump for most types of municipal,industrial and general environmental applications, especiallywhere VOC analysis of the sample is important.For metals analysis and situations with highly corrosiveliquids, the PVC Integra is more suitable. It has Teflon checkballs, a porous polyethylene screen and may have either aTeflon or a polyethylene bladder. The low cost of the PVCpump also makes this a perfect choice for situations wherethere is a limited budget, but dedicated bladder pumps wouldbe preferred. The pump body of the standard Integra is a convenient 1.66" dia. (42 mm) and comes in lengths of 2 ft and 4 ft (0.6 mand 1.2 m). 1" dia. (25 mm) bladder pumps are also availablefor narrower applications and for use in the WaterlooMultilevel System. (See Model 401 Data Sheet.)Dedicated Well Caps 2" and 4" (50 mm and 100 mm)Converts Easily to Pneumatic DVPThe 1.66" dia. (42 mm) by 2 ft (0.6 m) Stainless Steel IntegraBladder Pump (42 x 610 mm) utilizes most of the same parts as the pneumatic drive Solinst 1.66" Double Valve Pump(DVP). The DVP can operate from greater depths andprovide higher flow rates. Conversion from an IntegraBladder Pump to a DVP and back again is quick and easy(approx. 2 min.) and requires no tools.Dedicated SystemsFor long term monitoring it is always best to dedicate IntegraPumps. This avoids cross-contamination and saves timewithout the need to decontaminate between sampling events.There is the assurance of no air/water contact duringsampling, and the confidence that no cross-contamination willoccur from the use of portable equipment. Integra well caps are designed for ease of use. The ventedPVC caps have a quick-connect attachment for the controllerunit/air supply. Fittings are provided for both 1/4" OD (6 mm) and 3/8" OD (9 mm) tubing. Each cap comes with a3 ft (0.9 m) length of discharge line, which is easily replaced,as required.For water level monitoring there is an access hole to fit aSolinst Model 101 Water Level Meter. An eyebolt is providedfor a pump support cable or for suspension of a SolinstLevelogger, (see Model 3001 Data Sheet) or other device. Dedicated Well CapsThe caps slip easily onto 2" dia. (50 mm) wells. Adaptors tofit 4" dia. (100 mm) or other well sizes are also available. Thecap seals in place with an o-ring, and comes with a wireconnected protective cover. Low profile wellheads are alsoavailable for flush mount casing applications. Portable Integra PumpsFor less frequent sampling, and to allow access to multiplemonitoring wells, even in remote locations, portable Integrapumping systems are available.They may be supplied on a free-standing reel, or mounted on a cart with the tubing and pump controller. The rugged cartmounted system uses largepneumatic tires for easy transportover rough terrain.Integra Bladder Pumps available inStainless Steel 1" and 1.66" (25 mm and 42 mm)or PVC 1.66" (42 mm)Bladder Pump Stainless Steel1" (25 mm) on Free-standing ReelHigh Quality Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring InstrumentationFilters and PackersIntegra Stainless Steel Bladder Pumps come complete with a 50 mesh intake filter over the sample inlet.

Quick-connect fittings allow instantattachment to dedicated well caps, portable reel units andthrough an in-line dryer to an air compressor or compressedgas source.12V CompressorModel 800 Packers3.7" and 1.8" (94 mm and 46 mm)TubingThe standard tubing is 1/4" (6 mm) single line or 1/4" (6 mm) OD dual skip-bonded LDPE. Teflon-lined LDPE andother tubing sizes are also available. Solinst provides dedicated systems with individual drive andsample lines so that the cost of replacing the sample line isminimized. Dedicated systems can come pre-assembled tothe length you need, at no extra charge. Portable systems areprovided with 1/4" (6 mm) dual skip-bonded tubing for easeof operation.12V Oil-Less Air CompressorThe Solinst 12 Volt Compressor is lightweight 21 lbs (9.5 kg),compact, and ideal for field use, especially low flowapplications of less than 100 ft (30 m) depths. The compressor operates using 12 volt DC power source,such as a car or truck vehicle battery, and comes with alligatorclips. The compressor operates at up to 125 psi and isequipped with a 2 US gallon (7.6 L) air tank which is rated to 150 psi.Bladder Pump OperationWhen an Integra Bladder Pump is lowered into a well, hydraulic pressure allows formation water to enter the central Teflon chamber (the bladder)through the inlet filter.When compressed air or gas is applied to the drive lineit pressurizes the space around the bladder, causing it tocollapse and pushes the water up into the sample line. Check valves ensure that no water flows back downthrough the pump or into the formation.When compressed air or gas is vented (released), moreformation water enters the bladder. When thepressure is reapplied, the fresh formation water ispushed up towards the surface.The pressure/vent cycles are repeated, providing asteady flow of water up the sample line, without anystripping of volatiles from the sample. Turbidity isminimized due to the low flow rates and the gentlepumping action.Thus a high quality VOC groundwater sample isobtained.Higher Flow RatesWhen larger purge volumes are required, Solinst IntegraBladder Pumps can deliver flow rates up to 2 L/min.Alternatively a simple conversion kit can be used toquickly turn a stainless steel Integra Bladder Pump into aSolinst Double Valve Pump (DVP). These pneumaticdrive DVPs can provide higher flow rates and samplefrom greater depths than most bladder pumps. Flow rates vary with depth of pump below surface,depth below water level, size of drive and sample tubing,drive and vent cycle times, gas pressure applied andaquifer recharge.Flow rates of the Integra Bladder Pump and the DVPcompare favourably with published data for similar typesand sizes of pumps, under similar conditions.
