Aggressive Fluid Vapor Recovery

Aggressive Fluid Vapor Recovery (AFVR) is the removal of a free-phase product, contaminated groundwater, and contaminated vapors from the subsurface. It may also be known by other names such as enhanced fluid recovery, dual-phase extraction, mobile multi-phase extraction, and high vacuum extraction (HVE). This process may be used for various purposes, including remediation at leaking underground storage tank (UST) sites, industrial facilities, and military bases, as well as dewatering and pilot testing. Aggressive fluid vapor recovery can remove free product, soil vapors and contaminated groundwater simultaneously when used for remediation.

AFVR Data Collection and Disposal

The aggressive fluid vapor recovery (AFVR) services performed by ARM Environmental Services include consistent data collection of air flow, temperature, humidity, vacuum strength, effluent and stack vapor concentration, groundwater level, and free product thickness. Our experienced operators, crewmen, and specialized extraction equipment allow us to easily make modifications in the field in response to changes in site conditions. We also transport the material collected during aggressive fluid vapor recovery to certified disposal facilities and treatment plants for proper off-site disposal. Projects that often involve aggressive fluid vapor recovery include the following:

• Soil and groundwater corrective actions
