In-Well Vapor Stripping extracts volatile organic compounds (VOCs) dissolved in groundwater, and removes these contaminants as a vapor. The technology is based on a well within a well design. Groundwater is recirculated by air injected through the central well. VOCs dissolved in groundwater are vaporized and transferred to the flowing air bubbles. The outer well is kept under vacuum where VOC vapors are extracted in the offgas stream. The outer well delivers the offgas stream to the surface for treatment.
