Learn More About Soil Gas Vapor -
Soil vapor extraction (SVE)

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) removes harmful chemicals, in the form of vapors, from the soil above the water table.

The vapors are removed from the ground by applying a vacuum to pull out the vapors. When air is pumped underground, the chemicals evaporate faster, which makes them easier to remove.

SVE requires drilling extraction wells within the polluted area. These wells are drilled into the soil, but not the groundwater. Equipment is attached to the wells, which creates a vacuum which pulls air and vapors through the soil and up to the surface.

Once the extraction wells pull the air and vapors out of the ground, special air pollution control equipment collects them. The equipment separates the harmful vapors from the clean air.
