Rental System for a Truck Stop Environmental Remediation Project
MAE2 installed a rental Dual Phase Extraction and Groundwater Treatment system to deal with a storage tank leak.
MAE2 recently started up a rental system at an active Interstate Truck Stop facility that had experienced an underground storage tank leak in the past. The consultant had performed a pilot study at the site and developed the required system performance needed to clean the site. Costs for purchasing a new custom built system were compared to buying a refurbished system and to rental of the refurbished system. The flexibility of renting an existing system that fit the site needs was determined to be the best option.
Truck Stop Environmental Remediation Project
MAE2 took an existing system from our fleet and made minor modifications. A traditional Oil Water Separator and Air stripper was replaced with an Oil Water Separator/Air Stripper Combo unit. The system components were completely tested to make the system site ready.
The system is a Dual Phase Extraction and Groundwater Treatment system designed for 10 GPM water flow and 500 ACFM vapor flow at 22” HG. There is a 5-point extraction manifold that pulls both water and vapor from the extraction wells using two 10 HP rotary claw vacuum pumps in parallel.

The extracted groundwater is collected in the 120 G Vapor/Liquid separator and then pumped to an Oil Water Separator/Air Stripper combo unit using a progressive cavity transfer pump. Any free fuel that is extracted is collected in the OWS and gravity drains into a product holding tank. The water gravity flows into the Air Stripper chamber. The combo unit saves the need for an additional transfer pump and takes up less floor space. The water is then pumped through a bag filters in parallel and two high pressure fiberglass carbon vessels for final treatment before discharge. The OWS/Air Stripper pump is a centrifugal transfer pump. The system is controlled by a custom PLC control panel that allows for remote access and control using web-based telemetry.
