A remediation packer assembly including an inlet pipe defining a plurality of radially-oriented inlets and attached at opposing ends to stinger pipes with wrap sleeves positioned thereon. The assembly may be inserted into a monitoring pipe and inserted into a substrate, for example a well, for the collection of free product in a fluid or unsaturated environment. For example, the remediation assembly is inserted into the well until the collection zone as defined by the wrap sleeves is in planar orientation with the free product, and in the case of vacuum remediation, the free product is removed from the fluid column and brought to the surface where it may be processed and removed. A method of remediating the substrate is also provided.
A remediation packer assembly for remediating a well comprising an inlet pipe, said inlet pipe defining a plurality of radially oriented inlets, a stinger pipe, a wrap sleeve, said wrap sleeve positioned on said stinger pipe, said inlet pipe affixed to said stinger pipe, a clamp, said clamp engaging said wrap sleeve, whereby said remediation packer assembly is configured to radially remediate said well.
A vacuum remediation packer assembly for collecting free product from a well comprising an inlet pipe, said inlet pipe defining a plurality of inlets, a pair of stinger pipes, each of said stinger pipes affixed at an opposing end of said inlet pipe, a vacuum system, said vacuum system in fluid communication with one of said stinger pipes, a pair of wrap sleeves, said wrap sleeves attached to different ones of said stinger pipes, said pair of wrap sleeves and said plurality of inlets adjustably defining a radial collection zone, whereby said vacuum remediation packer assembly is configured to radially remediate said well.
A method of remediating a substrate comprising the steps of:
