Contaminant Removal Systems
Numerous methods are used for contaminant removal and trapping. ESN installs, following our
client’s designs, several such methods, among them:
 Vapor Extraction Systems
 Air Sparge Systems
 Small scale pump and treat
Sometimes, combinations of these are used either in different sequences or in different portions
of the plume. Each is applied based on the information developed above and following the
decision and designs of ESN clients.
Vapor Extraction Systems
Small-scale vapor extraction systems are installed using ESN’s Direct Push systems.
Depending on depth and lithology, systems up to 2" in diameter may be installed. The
design and operation of the systems remains with ESN’s clients. Along with the
extraction systems, ESN has designed, installed, and operated vapor-monitoring systems,
some of which have been continuous (see above description).
Air Sparge Systems
As with vapor extraction systems, smaller scale Air Sparge units can be installed. While
many commercially available devices can be installed, in addition, ESN has installed a
wide variety of less expensive tools, most based on slotted PVC pipe, in sizes ranging
from 0.5 to 2" in diameter.
