Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of multiphase extraction and remediation of soil and groundwater, specifically relating to a multiphase extraction well structure for soil and groundwater. Background Technology

[0002] Multiphase extraction (MPE) technology is one of the most commonly used technologies in the field of soil and groundwater pollution remediation. It is an in-situ remediation technology that can simultaneously treat soil gaseous pollutants, groundwater pollutants, and non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) pollutants.

[0003] Multiphase extraction (MPE) technology consists of three main processes: multiphase extraction, multiphase separation, and contaminant treatment. The extraction system is the core of the MPE system, including the extraction well structure, extraction equipment, and piping. MPE systems can be divided into single-pump systems and dual-pump systems. A single-pump system uses only a vacuum pump for extraction, while a dual-pump system uses both a vacuum pump and a water pump for extraction.

[0004] Multiphase extraction (MPE) technology targets soil gaseous pollutants, light non-aqueous liquid (LNAPL) pollutants, heavy non-aqueous liquid (DNAPL) pollutants, and dissolved phase pollutants. Traditional multiphase extraction typically employs a mixed extraction method, extracting water, gas, and NAPL together for post-treatment, significantly increasing the volume of wastewater and waste gas that can be treated downstream. Current technology, based on pollutant stratification, uses a stratified extraction approach for staged extraction, achieving concentrated energy efficiency in multiphase extraction, improving remediation efficiency, and saving energy.
