Air Sparge
air sparge compressor

Maple Leaf Environmental Equipment Ltd. air sparging packages utilizing high quality blowers and compressors are specially designed and manufactured for the safe and efficient remediation of organic contaminants in soil, groundwater and free product phase. Each package uses CSA/UL approved components and is designed for high performance, portability and ease-of-use. Available skid mounted or in an enclosure, the units are available with a range of options and accessories including inlet filters, silencers, sound attenuation enclosures, temperature and pressure instrumentation, as well as pressurized air conditioning equipment such as filters, heat exchangers, dryers and regulators.

 

Rotary Lobe Blowers for Low Pressure Air Sparging

Rotary Lobe Blowers (commonly classified as Roots-type blowers) provide pressurized air for injection at remediation sites at pressures up to 15 psi and are the most cost effective choice for air sparging or injection applications in the lower pressure range (2-12 psi typically).

MLEE's computerized selection program will allow us to size and select the best blower or selection of blowers for your application, presenting you with the best options for your remediation project.

 

Rotary Vane Compressors for Medium Pressure Air Sparging

Rotary vane compressors (also referred to as sliding vane compressors) provide oil free pressurized air for injection at remediation sites with pressures up to 25 psi. They are the most cost effective choice for air sparging or injection applications in the mid pressure range (typically 8-22 psi). Our technical staff can help you size the best equipment for your remediation project.

 

Rotary Claw Compressors for Medium Pressure Air Sparging

Rotary claw compressors provide oil free pressurized air for injection at remediation sites at pressures up to 30 psi and are a cost effective choice for air sparging or injection applications in the mid pressure range (15-30 psi typically). Our technical staff can help you size the best equipment for your remediation project.

 

Rotary Screw and Piston Compressors for High Pressure Air Sparging

Rotary screw and piston compressors provide pressurized air for injection at remediation sites at pressures up to 125 psi and are the most cost effective choice for air sparging or injection applications in the high pressure range (typically 30-100 psi). Our technical staff can help you size the best equipment for your remediation project.

 

Air sparging packages are available with electrical classification from general industrial through explosion proof hazardous locations. They are available from fractional through 100 HP models to push and pull the most demanding vapors and gases. Airflows from 2 cfm up to 1500 cfm are available at pressures to 15 psig and flows of 2 cfm to 350 cfm are available at pressures up to 125 psig. Uses include:

  • Soil Venting/Sparging
  • Free Product Volatilization
  • In-Situ Air Stripping
  • Bio-Remediation Enhancement


A wide range of pressures and airflows are possible with appropriate compressor or blower selection. Systems can be supplied with control panels, automatic cycling of sparge points, telemetry and remote communication and in conjunction with other equipment such as soil vapor extraction and product recovery equipment.
