How does the GORETM Module collect chemical compounds?
The GORETM Module (formerly known as the GORE-SORBER® Screening Module) is constructed of a GORE-TEX® membrane tube, a chemically-inert, waterproof, yet vapor-permeable polymer, which houses engineered adsorbents. Volatile and semi-volatile compounds present in air, soil gas or water diffuse unimpeded through the membrane to the adsorbent material, while liquid water and soil particles are prevented from contacting the adsorbent. The membrane has over 80% open area and pore sizes that are 1,000 times larger than the largest SVOC molecule, thus offering essentially no resistance to vapor migration to the adsorbent. Compounds moving to the inside of the membrane are immediately collected by the adsorbents.
