In Feasibility Testing, the well yield (actual water production) can be determined ‘as a function of depth’.  Since flow is diverted upon drawdown only the formation-produced yield it pumped to the surface.

In VEGE Testing, groundwater is depressed to a target elevation and stepped vacuums are applied to the formation.  Direct measurement of water recovery, at that elevation, as a function of applied vacuum is straight-forward.

These unit have numerous applications in the Environment / Energy & Agricultural sectors:  Dewatering, Pump-protection, constant draw-down,  dual-phase extraction and VEGE.

ReRem Equipment consigns and swaps quality pre-owned remediation technologies, providing professionals with alternative ‘treatment train’ options.  We are here to help.

ReRem Equipment provides equipment rental services, mobilization & setup, client-operator training and air-stripper modeling output for SPDES permit support.  Our services in conjunction with your labor result in timely & cost-effective onsite treatment of VOC-contaminated groundwater.  Unit process costs, including our services and rentals, typically fall within the $0.04 to $0.25 per gallon!  The resulting savings keep your project on-time, on-budget, and on-board.  WIN-WIN-WIN.

During the early stages large, high-volume process equipment can be deployed for source control.  Trailer-mounted equipment can be positioned to reduce impact on structures, facilities and utilities.  Once delineated a proper feasibility study to determine the ROI / loading / technology effectiveness will aid in system design and placement.  Reduced scale components are commonly required as the largest mass-removal occurred earlier in the process.  Used or temporary equipment can reduce the total cost of final-design infrastructure.  Equipment swaps are employed as the plume attenuates.  Upon closure the remedial equipment can be consigned, based on its residual value, further reducing project expense.

Consultants and clients can realize significant benefits with early & aggressive treatment followed by dynamic equipment deployment as site conditions change.  Cradle to grave engineering should be part of our project life-cycles.  Better results or cost control, everybody wins.
