Soil Vapor Extraction System (SVES)

 

        

The SVES is a complete soil vapor extraction system, designed to remove volatile organic compounds (VOC's) from unsaturated soils. This in-situ soil venting system uses a vacuum to force vapors to flow through the soil into subsurface vents, pulling hydrocarbons from the zone of contamination. Extracted vapors are treated and discharged aboveground. The SVES is a skid mounted system for ease of movement by fork truck, with water separator, filter, and appropriate controls, instrumentation, and motor starters all self-contained in one unit. Smaller units can be operated by a mobile generator.

Instrumentation is ideal for soil gas feasibility studies.

 

 

 

Soil Vapor Extraction System

• The SVES pulls volatile organic compounds (VOC's) out of the soil through a vacuum system.

 

 

 

• Increased air flow through the interstices of soil particles, induces the detachment of VOC's from the contaminated soils. Also provides oxygen enhancement for biodegradation.

 

• Vapors are forced into subsurface vents placed in the areas of residual contamination. Subsurface vents provide conduits for air movement from the zone of contamination to the surface.

 

• A soil moisture separator and filter are provided to remove moisture and fine particles and prevent damage to the blower.

 

• Collapsible stack assembly provides shielding and eventual discharge of the hot gases from the blower operations.

 

• Small size and mobility make unit ideal for feasibility studies and small spills.

 

• Larger units and configurations available on request. Exhaust gas treatment added on request.

 

Successful SVES Applications:

• UST remediation for gasoline release

• UST remediation for solvent release

• UST remediation for diesel release

• Facility solvent spill cleanup & remediation

• Highway tanker spill cleanup & remediation
