Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) is a proven, in site corrective action technology that can remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and selected residual petroleum hydrocarbons from unsaturated soils. To assist regulators, investigators, and Underground Storage Tanks (UST) owners in evaluating whether SVE is an appropriate cleanup technology for use at UST sites, decision support software entitled HyperVentilate has been developed. HyperVentilate is an interactive, software guidance system for evaluating the feasibility of using SVE at a specific site based on site and contaminant characteristics. HyperVentilate is designed to: (1) identify the level of site data required to evaluate SVE systems, (2) evaluate soil permeability test results, (3) approximate the minimum number of extraction wells likely to be needed, and (4) provide a rough approximation of the system's desired and maximum removal rates.
