Dual Phase Extraction with C3 Technology
Process Description | Power Requirements | Published Papers | GEO Brochure
|
C3 Soil vapor extraction systems are a combination of compressions, cryogenic cooling,
and condensation combined with a proprietary regenerative adsorption technology that efficiently recovers volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) from dual
phase streams. Extracted contaminants in both liquid and gaseous phase are separated following the dual phase extraction manifold. Contaminants are
removed from the liquid phase via air stripping. Off gas from the contaminated liquid are sent to the soil vapor extraction system’s influent line and
treated with C3 technology.
New or custom modified systems can be manufactured in 8-12 weeks.

-
Contaminated vapors are removed from extraction wells by positive displacement blower, rotary claw, or rotary screw compressor.
-
Entrained liquids are separated with the vapor liquid separator.
-
Extracted air is compressed to 150 psi by reciprocating or rotary screw compressor and conditioned through a refrigerated chiller to further remove water and cool the stream to ambient temperatures.
-
The vapor stream is further cooled to -45°F where the chemical constituents are condensed and separated from the vapor stream.
-
The cleaned vapor stream is polished through a series of regenerative adsorbers that redirect any fugitive VOC’s to the front of the system and then granular activated carbon.
System effluent vapor stream [<10 parts per million by volume (PPMV)] polish utilizing granular activated carbon (GAC) prior to discharge to atmosphere may be required in some regions; negligible GAC consumption.
GEO currently manufactures standard units of 100, 200, 300, 500 and 1,000 SCFM flow rate capacity. For larger SCFM requirements, G.E.O. provides custom systems to meet your needs.
