Soil Vapor Extraction Overview

Mid-Atlantic Environmental Equipment, Inc. specializes in soil remediation systems and components tailored to your sites specific needs. Each system or component is specifically designed for your sites characteristics.

Mid-Atlantic Environmental Equipment, Inc offers custom Soil Vapor Extraction Systems. There are a number of different blower types that can be used; the choice ultimately depends on air flow rate, vacuum, and other site specific considerations. The graph below shows the vacuum ranges of each blower type. .

The two most commonly used blowers for soil vapor extraction systems are regenerative and positive displacement. Regenerative blowers are typically chosen for low to moderate air flow rates and low to moderate vacuum requirements (0-5" Hg). Positive displacement blowers are more commonly used for higher flow and vacuum applications (0-15" Hg). Each system is skid mounted, pre-tested and pre-assembled and includes the same basic typical components, with numerous options available.

Mid-Atlantic Environmental Equipment, Inc offers Dual Phase Extraction Systems in two different configurations. Each Dual Phase Extraction System is manufactured to meet your specific requirements. The determining factor behind the selection is the expected operating vacuum level. Liquid ring pumps (oil sealed design) are most suitable for vacuum levels in excess of 15 inches mercury (Hg). Positive displacement blowers are more suitable for vacuum levels up to 15 inches Hg. The dual phase extraction process involves the subsurface removal of air, water, and product. There are many other pieces of equipment needed for a fully operational system that addresses all phases of contamination.

Mid-Atlantic Environmental Equipment, Inc offers Air Sparging Systems manufactured to meet your specific requirements. There are a number of different system types that can be used. The choice ultimately depends on air flow rate, pressure and other site specific considerations. The most commonly used system types for Air Sparging are positive displacement blowers and air compressors. There are two different types of air compressors that can be used, rotary vane or rotary screw

Mid-Atlantic Environmental Equipment, Inc. offers integrated systems custom designed to your application. We will package any one or more of our remediation components and provide you with a complete, fully assembled and tested remediation system either skid-mounted or in an enclosed trailer, steel cargo container, or wooden or steel shed. We will also package any number of treatment technologies to your custom specification.

Our process is a unique pure oxygen mixing system that generates stable dissolved oxygen levels up to 40 ppm. Systems are automated and combine oxygenation and product application for full scale in situ bioremediation. Using our oxygenation system in conjunction with our biological products result in rapid subsurface cleanup of both soil and groundwater.

Mid-Atlantic Environmental control panels are designed and built for each specific project, depending on the types of equipment being used, level of control sophistication and other site specific considerations.
