The vacuum extraction pollution treatment method, also known as vacuum pumping, is a technique for treating contaminated soil and groundwater. This method involves using a vacuum pump to extract contaminants from the soil or groundwater.
The vacuum extraction process begins with the installation of a series of extraction wells in the contaminated area. These wells are installed at different depths to reach the contaminated areas.
Once the wells are in place, a vacuum pump is used to draw the contaminants out of the soil or groundwater. The contaminants are then transported to a treatment system for removal.
Vacuum extraction is particularly effective for removing volatile contaminants such as organic solvents and hazardous gases. Vacuum extraction is also useful for removing liquid and solid contaminants.
The advantages of the vacuum extraction method are that it is fast, efficient and can be used to treat contaminated soil and groundwater. In addition, this method can be used to treat contaminated sites in urban and industrial areas where space is limited.
For on-site remediation, other treatment methods can be used, such as anaerobic biostimulation, bioventing, composting, containment, thermal desorption,excavation,incineration, landfarming, chemical washing, chemical oxidation, phytomanagement, pyrolysis, chemical reduction, stabilization, stripping, biological treatment or particle size sorting.
