PLUMEEATER
The Geotech Plume Eater® is a patented in-situ remediation system. Unlike other commercially marketed in-well air strippers or circulation type systems, the Plume Eater's process is unique.
When pulling in contaminated groundwater, it strips away the VOC's while oxygenating the treated water before it is re-introduced deep into the formation. This process creates a convection flow whereby groundwater is pulled toward the recovery well rather than pushed away, as compared to other similar types of systems and processes.

- Soils are flushed with oxygenated ground water
- Pulls from the groundwater surface and re-injects, oxygenated water deep in the formation, creating convection currents
- Accelerates bio-remediation
- Maximum efficiency with minimal power
- No sub-surface moving parts
- Works in a variety of soil types
- No net change in groundwater volume
- Options available for use with other gases
- In Situ Technology – No re-injection permits or water treatment extraction required, water never leaves the subsurface.
- Available in 2” (5cm) and 4” (10cm) models
