The nature of the invention is the use of WELL-EVACUATOR™ to extract and convey polluted liquid and vapor from wells to the surface for separation and treatment. This technology is an alternative to use of conventional well pumps alone or in combination with soil vapor extraction or two phase extraction. Three applications are presented; circulated water supplied as prime mover to eductor(s), compressed air prime mover, and soil vapor extraction blower in combination with WELL-EVACUATOR™. All three rely on use of a prime mover such as water or air supplied to a jet to create a vacuum capable of extracting and conveying water and soil vapor under pressure from a well to separation and treatment equipment at the surface. If the well head is sealed, a vacuum is created in the subsurface enhancing removal of contaminants. These novel applications allow use of commercially available equipment.
