Vapor recovery apparatus and method

A mobile vapor recovery apparatus for efficiently removing materials from soil, comprising:

• a plurality of intake ports each configured to releasably connect to a well pipe means communicating gas having vaporized materials from a well in said soil, said intake ports communicating said gas to a common manifold;
• a fluid collection tank configured to receive said gas from said manifold, said tank for collecting fluid entrained in said gas;
• a blower means for drawing said gas into said intake ports by forcing said gas from said tank and out of an exhaust port;
• and
• a transportable support frame securing said plurality of intake ports, said fluid collection tank, and said blower means in a self-contained transportable unit.

A method for easily and efficiently removing materials from soil, comprising the steps of:

• securing an intake port means, a fluid collection tank, and a blower means to a transportable support frame to derive a self-contained unit;
• disposing quick-connect means on said intake port means for releasably connecting and disconnecting said intake port means of said unit and a well pipe means for communicating gas having vaporized materials from a well in said soil;
• configuring said fluid collection tank to receive gas from said intake port means, said tank for collecting fluid entrained in said gas;
• and
• disposing said blower means to draw said gas into said intake port means by forcing said gas from said tank and out of an exhaust port.
