High Vacuum Remediation (HVR) and Air Sparge Equipment/Process Technology

High Vacuum Remediation Service (HVR)

Utilizing our High-Vacuum Remediation (HVR) service developed solely for performing Mobile Enhanced Multi-Phase Extraction (MEME) events, FRUITS can provide a customized HVR event to address site-specific conditions. Our equipment is 100% mobile and is designed to provide a turn-key service at each and every site. At FRUITS, safety is our number one goal, therefore all of our HVR units are constructed with redundant fail-safe controls and our technicians are OSHA certified and trained to make safety our first concern. Below is a general outline of our equipment:

Units were designed utilizing NEMA 7 (explosion proof) guidelines and the entire process is monitored and controlled by an onboard Telemetry Computer. This means that during the initial 8-hour event, if all operating conditions are within the established guidelines, the system can continue to operate in unattended mode for up to an additional 16 hours. If conditions change during this period, the system will safely shut down, and notify the technician.

All process controls include fail safe switches with redundancy switches installed at critical operating points.

The extraction process is performed using a 30 horsepower - variable speed - rotary lobe compressor, which is capable of 25” of mercury.

Up to five extraction wells can be connected simultaneously providing individual extraction well flow rates.

The off-gas destruction is accomplished in our 7 million BTU/hr Thermal Oxidizer (THOX) unit which provides a hydrocarbon destruction rate of approximately 50-75 gallons per hour. All MEME events, even if not required, include off-gas destruction of the extracted vapors at no additional cost to our clients.

Each HVR Unit has the ability to extract and store 3,000+ gallons of impacted groundwater for disposal, and FRUITS has tanker trucks available to store an additional 5,500 gallons each, if needed.

Each Unit is equipped with specialty, in-house designed site safety equipment. From the high visibility traffic/safety cones, to the low profile system ramps which allows traffic to cross over unimpeded.

Air Sparging Service

After a lot of planning and research, FRUITS has designed what we feel to be the most versatile and effective Air Sparging platform for performing air sparge pilot testing and episodic events. We have designed this system to be used in conjunction with our High Vacuum Remediation (HVR) units to provide soil vapor/multi-phase extraction and air sparge for the purpose of performing customized pilot testing and/or episodic events to address site-specific conditions. As with all of our units, it is 100% mobile and is designed to provide a turn-key service at each and every site. Below is a general outline of our new Air Sparge Platform:

Unit was designed with a 20 hp reciprocating compressor powered by a twin-cylinder diesel engine with a fuel storage capacity to provide 3 days of continuous operation.

The reciprocating compressor has an operating range of 0 to 50 psi of pressure at 90 to 100 cfm of air flow and utilizes environmental safe food grade lubricants. Additionally, and as a redundancy measure, the compressor is equipped with two stage inline air/oil separating filters. The compressor is also equipped with a custom made inter-cooler system to reduce the temperature of the compressed air to a safe operating level.

The system can connect to up to five air sparging points via a manifold system and each manifold connection is outfitted with a pressure regulator and gauge, along with a Dywer SCFM air flow meter. This allows FRUITS to adjust the pressure and air flow to each individual point.

The unit is also equipped with custom made marine grade aluminum wellhead assemblies that have been pressure tested at over 100 psi, along with all the associated hoses and fittings needed.

Remember, at FRUITS our goal is Quality Service and 100% Client Satisfaction and we are committed to our client’s success.
