Free Product Recovery

Free Product Recovery


When free-phase petroleum product is present on the water table, SPCI deploys recovery systems to remove it before it spreads and to protect Florida's groundwater resources. Our crews gauge wells, install recovery equipment, and run ongoing monitoring programs that document product thickness reduction and move the site toward remedial closure. Free product recovery is often the critical first step that makes the rest of a cleanup achievable.
