Abstract
A system for removing fluid in a remediation application comprises a supply of pressurized liquid; a supply of contaminated fluid, the contaminated liquid comprising a plurality of components; a jet assembly in fluid communication with the supply of contaminated liquid, the pressurized liquid entering the jet assembly to create a high velocity outlet stream and corresponding vacuum, wherein the vacuum draws contaminated fluid from the supply of contaminated liquid and mixes with the high velocity liquid stream to form a mixed liquid stream; and means for discharging the mixed liquid stream.
Claims24
A system for removing fluid in a remediation application, said system comprising:
- a supply of pressurized liquid that is present in the form of a recovery well, wherein the pressurized liquid is contaminated, and wherein the liquid is pressurized by virtue of hydraulic force;
- a supply of contaminated fluid, said contaminated fluid comprising a plurality of components one of which is water, and said supply of contaminated fluid being present in the form of a groundwater well;
- a jet assembly in fluid communication with said supply of contaminated fluid, said pressurized liquid entering said jet assembly to create a high velocity liquid stream and corresponding vacuum, wherein the vacuum draws contaminated fluid from said supply of contaminated fluid and mixes with the high velocity liquid stream to form a mixed liquid stream;
- and
- means for discharging the mixed liquid stream;
- wherein said system is a single-pass system.
A method for removing contaminant fluid, said method comprising:
- pressurizing a contaminated liquid stream by virtue of hydraulic force, wherein said contaminated liquid stream is supplied by a recovery well;
- converting the pressurized contaminated liquid stream to a high velocity liquid stream to create a vacuum;
- entraining a supply of contaminated fluid comprising water in the high velocity liquid stream by exposing the contaminated fluid to the vacuum created by the high velocity liquid stream, wherein the contaminated fluid and the high velocity liquid stream form a mixed liquid stream;
- and
- discharging the mixed liquid stream in a single pass.
A system for removing fluid in a remediation application, said system comprising:
- a supply of pressurized liquid that is present in the form of a recovery well, wherein the pressurized liquid is contaminated, and wherein the liquid is pressurized by virtue of hydraulic force;
- a plurality of supplies of contaminated fluids, wherein each of said contaminated fluids comprises a plurality of components one of which is water, and said supplies of contaminated fluid being present in the form of groundwater wells;
- a plurality of jet assemblies in fluid communication with said plurality of supplies of contaminated fluids, the pressurized liquid entering each of said jet assemblies to create high velocity liquid streams in each of said jet assemblies and corresponding vacuums, wherein each of the vacuums draws contaminated fluids from each of said supplies of contaminated fluids, and wherein each of said plurality of supplies of contaminated fluids mix with corresponding high velocity liquid streams to form a plurality of mixed liquid streams;
- and
- means for discharging the mixed liquid streams;
- wherein said system is a single-pass system.
