Dual-Phase Extraction FAQs
Dual-phase extraction (DPE) is one of the most effective remediation methods, extracting pollutants from soil and groundwater on-site (in situ). DPE (also known as multi-phase extraction and bioslurping) system treats and collects removed liquids for disposal or injects them back into the subsurface. There are two general categories of DPE technologies: single and dual-pump DPE systems. […]
