Steam injection

Steam injection technology involves the injection of pressurised steam into the contaminated soil, which helps to mobilise contamination.

It must be used in conjunction with a recovery method - typically Dual Phase Vacuum Extraction (DVPE) to remove the vaporised contaminants, or pump and treat for the dissolved phase.

For this reason, the technology is also known as Steam Enhanced In-situ Remediation (SER) or Steam Enhanced Recovery or Extraction. One of its key assets is the speed at which it can function.
