Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is a common method of soil remediation used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated soil. SVE is an in situ (in-place) treatment technique that involves the extraction of contaminated vapors from the soil using a vacuum system.
SVE is effective for treating soils contaminated with low to moderate levels of VOCs. It is particularly useful for sites with shallow soil contamination and can be used as a standalone remediation method or in combination with other techniques such as bioremediation or chemical treatment.
The effectiveness of SVE depends on several factors, including the type and concentration of contaminants, soil type, and groundwater conditions. SVE may take several months or years to complete, and monitoring is required to ensure that the remediation process is effective.
Overall, SVE is a cost-effective and efficient method for remediating contaminated soil and can be used to remove a wide range of VOCs, making it a popular choice for soil remediation projects.
DDI along with their expert technicians provides SVE system, cooperate with your company’s field staff, or operate independently, depending on your project needs.
