Does vapor intrusion occur?
Vapor intrusion has not been observed on any of the ERH remediations TRS has performed. As a result of our strong background with subsurface air movement technologies including vapor recovery we are highly experienced with vapor, steam and fluid recovery systems. It is critical to maintain a complete vacuum influence in the subsurface during ERH remediation to ensure complete steam and vapor capture. We have demonstrated this on all of our projects. We have also shown through continuous online air/vapor sampling and helium gas tracer tests that our systems maintain complete vacuums eliminating vapor intrusion or migration.
