Dual Phase Extraction Advantages

Quick Treatment

• A major advantage of dual-phase extraction is the speed in which water and vapor can be removed. This is mainly due to the ability to simultaneously extract water and vapor. During this process, a vacuum is used to create a depression which quickly pulls up contaminated water. Also, dual-phase extraction can be combined with other machines if needed to hasten the process. In turn, an optimal level of efficiency is achieved.

Effective for Numerous Sites

• Another benefit is the ability of dual-phase extraction to be used in a variety of settings. Normal pumps are often limited in their abilities and can only be used in certain conditions. A dual-phase technique can be used for a variety of depths and also underneath buildings. A mobile trailer with the necessary equipment is often brought to the site.

Reduced Contaminants

• In many instances, the leftover contaminants at a location are significantly reduced. The vacuum has a screen in place that removes the majority of contaminants above and below the water line. The safe water is left behind and the bad water is removed for further treatment. The process of dual-phase extraction brings fresh oxygen into the plume during treatment. As a result, microbes are usually enhanced which reduces the amount of contaminants left behind afterward.

No Major Disturbance

• An added advantage of dual-phase extraction is the lack of disturbance that it causes to sites. In general, only a minimal amount of excavation is necessary in order to use this system. The equipment for extraction can operate while making limited noise. Most of the equipment only takes up a small amount of space. As a result, water and vapor can be extracted with less hassle than normal pumps often require.
