What Does SVE Stand For?
SVE stands for Soil Vapor Extraction
Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) is an environmental remediation technology used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other contaminants from contaminated soil. The process involves the installation of a network of wells or extraction points that create a vacuum, facilitating the movement of vaporized pollutants from the soil into the extraction system. These vapors are then treated through various methods, such as adsorption or combustion, to minimize environmental impact. SVE is widely utilized in sites affected by industrial activities, landfills, and hazardous waste releases, offering an effective solution for groundwater protection and soil decontamination.
