  • Patent number: 11767731
    Abstract: A device and method for collecting sample fluids from an underground source which includes sample wells terminating in a corrugated conduit and sieve. The sampling regions for each sample well is separated by a grout or expanding seal barrier. Negative pressure is optionally applied to extract fluids from the underground matrix for sampling. The device can also be used for remediating an environmental contaminant from soil or aquifers. Upon identification of at least one environmental contaminant, a remediation composition is injected into the soil or aquifer using the sampling wells of the device. The remediation fluids can be directed to specific locations by selectively utilizing one or more sampling wells to inject the remediation fluid.

  • Patent number: 10252304
    Abstract: A method of remediating an environmental contaminant and device for performing the same is disclosed herein. The device uses a liquid carrier source with a venturi pump in liquid communication with the liquid carrier source and an output for the venturi pump and at least one injection port in fluid communication with the output of the venturi pump. The injection port injects a remediator, such as an oxidizing material or chemical, into the liquid carrier, which is then contacted with the environmental contaminant and permitted to degrade or dispose of the environmental contaminant.

  • Patent number: 10232416
    Abstract: A device and method for collecting liquid from an underground source or remediating an environmental contaminant from soil or aquifers. The device includes injection tubing having one or more holes, disposed within a corrugated conduit and sieve. An injection channel is provided on the corrugated conduit allowing liquid to flow around the injection system. The injection system can be used in vertical or horizontal well settings. The device is inserted into contaminated soil or an aquifer, and a remediation composition is injected into the soil or aquifer using the injection tubing of the device. One or more of the devices are placed into a well bore, with multiple devices allowing for adaptive, directional injection of the remediation composition.
