Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE)

Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) is a cleanup method used to remove harmful chemicals from the soil, especially in areas with underground contamination. It involves installing a series of wells or pipes into the ground, which then gently extract the contaminated air or vapors from the soil. These vapors are collected and treated to remove pollutants before being released into the atmosphere. SVE is effective for cleaning up volatile substances like gasoline or solvents that can easily turn into vapors, helping restore soil safety and prevent groundwater contamination.
