I know that PCPs (pregesssive cavity pumps) are used to pump slurries, so are pretty tolerant of solids.
 
DrillerNic ...is correct (except his spelling! *G*) "Moyno" makes a progressive cavity pump that I've used a number of times in sandy water service. Try the link below.

 
Weatherford make a downhole PCP- driven by a submersible motoer like an ESP, instead of the more common PCP setup with a surface motor and sucker rod drive shaft to a downhole pump.
