vapor extraction unit

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Vapor Extraction Unit (VEU) is designed to extract gas from saturated soil, pinpoint leak locations, and facilitate timely repairs, significantly reducing earthwork and pavement costs.

Specifications: The VEU is equipped with an Isuzu 3CB1 engine, consuming 1.5 gallons of fuel per hour with a 12-gallon tank. It features a Tutthill blower with a capacity of 850 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and operates at a recommended vacuum of 10 inches of mercury, with a maximum of 15 inches. The unit's dimensions are 47.5 inches in height, 43 inches in width, and 65 inches in length, weighing 1,430 pounds.

Functionality: The VEU creates a vacuum at boreholes over gas-saturated soil areas, rapidly extracting gas and following gas migration paths to locate leaks. It can pinpoint leaks within 18 inches horizontally of their vertical location, enabling rapid remediation and minimizing soil excavation and pavement destruction.

Safety Features: The VEU includes a patented system for safe operation, featuring an LEL sensor that continuously monitors gas/air concentration. The sensor provides real-time digital readouts and triggers alarms if gas levels reach 25% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), with automatic shutdown at 50% LEL.

Operational Capabilities: The unit can run up to 18 probes simultaneously or use a 3-inch hose for rapid gas evacuation. It is available in skid-mounted or trailer-mounted versions, with probe kits sold separately.

Accessories: Available accessories include probe kits, trailer kits, sensor calibration kits, and various hoses and maintenance parts.

VAPOR EXTRACTION UNIT VAPOR EXTRACTION UNIT (VEU) The VAPOR EXTRACTION UNIT (VEU) extracts gas from saturated soil, pinpoints leak location, facilitates more timely repair and in the process delivers dramatic reductions in earthwork and pavement costs. The VEU pinpoints difficult to locate leaks. The VEU creates vacuum (up to 15" mercury) at a series of boreholes over known areas of gas saturated soil. The high volume VEU rapidly extracts gas from saturated soils and can be used to follow paths of gas migration to the leak source. Through a process of elimination, most leaks can be pinpointed...
