Enthalpy Analytical is thrilled to announce our latest innovation in vapor intrusion testing: the newly patented and trademarked VaporDeck™. This advanced apparatus offers unparalleled capabilities in sample collection and monitoring for vapor intrusion across soil vapor, sub-surface air, and indoor/ambient air. With VaporDeck™, you can achieve sampling integrity and compliance with TO-14A and TO-15 standards, ensuring comprehensive and reliable results for public safety during site development clearances.
Superior Performance and Efficiency
VaporDeck™ is engineered to revolutionize vapor intrusion investigations with several key enhancements:
- 30% Faster Sampling: Single depth sampling time is significantly reduced, improving efficiency and turnaround.
- 50% Faster Triple-Depth Sampling: For complex investigations requiring multiple depths, our system cuts sampling times by half.
- 75% Less Helium Usage: Through innovative design features, VaporDeck™ drastically reduces helium consumption, making it more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
- Simultaneous Purge and Sampling: Capable of handling multiple depths at once, our system is three times faster in setup and breakdown compared to traditional methods.
Innovations Behind VaporDeck™
VaporDeck™ achieves these impressive results through a series of modifications and upgrades:
Disposable Manifold: The disposable 3-way valve design allows the shroud to be re-used, addressing the inefficiency of single-use hard bodies which are wasteful of helium and require one unit per well.
Collapsible Shroud: Optimizing helium use, the collapsible shroud design significantly reduces the amount needed compared to hard bodies. This innovation maintains an efficient helium retention of 20-40%.
Chimney-Tray Design: Our unique chimney-tray design provides wind protection and enhances portability. The innovative tray creates a reliable seal with the shroud cover, an approach not seen in other products.
Flow Through Helium Detector: This feature detects leaks at the point source in the field before exposing the can, ensuring sample integrity and accuracy.
Compact Workstation: VaporDeck™ is designed as a portable workstation, minimizing the space needed for auxiliary parts. This compact unit simplifies logistics and improves field efficiency.
Turn-Key Solution: We streamline your process by reducing the number of vendors from three to one. VaporDeck™ includes an integrated helium detector, helium supply, and cans & controllers, providing real value and reducing complexity.
Splitter Flexibility: Our system offers a flexible splitter that doubles back over the cans instead of a protruding “T”. This makes the setup more compact and ready for duplicate samples when needed.
Triplicate Setup: For sites requiring triple-depth sampling, our system saves helium and time by allowing simultaneous purging and sampling from a single shroud setup. This is achieved through a chimney with a hole for purge lines to exit and helium lines to enter, creating an efficient and well-sealed system.
Retention Systems: VaporDeck™ includes up to four methods for sealing, using weights or snap rings and multiple frame shapes, ensuring optimal helium retention and system integrity.
