C3 Technology can be utilized for vapor extraction at a wide range of concentrations.
The use of C3 Technology for vapor extraction provides multiple advantages over the use of
other popular technologies, such as GAC or Thermal Oxidation.
C3 Advantages
C3 Technology requires no dilution.
Greater then 500ppm VOC concentration for High Concentrations.
Greater then 100ppm for stubborn contaminants such as CE, Carbon Tetrachloride, Chloroform, Methylene, DCA, MTBE.
Permitted through SCAQMD.
C3 Systems do not emit by-products of oxidation units.
Zero emissions.
BTU value does not affect process efficiency.
High mass removal rate allows for shorter remediation time.
No upper limit of concentrations
No on-site incineration of organic compounds
No toxic effluent gasses
GAC Environmental Impact
Derived from natural coal resournces or carbonization of other organic materials.
Transported from other countries, processed, distributed, and delivered.
Regernation of GAC requires significant energy.
Out of state transportation
Large Carbon Footprint
Thermal Oxidation Environmental Impact
Supplemental fuel usage required
Direct incineration results in CO, CO2, and nitrogen/sulfer oxides emissions.
Salts collected from acid scrubber
Fugitive emissions problems with chlorinated solvents
Medium to Large Carbon Footprint
Solvent Comparisons
Fuel Comparisons
