Description

iFLUX® Samplers directly measure groundwater flow and contaminant mass flux at discrete depths, providing time-averaged data that improves conceptual site models, identifies preferential flow paths, and supports more targeted, cost-effective remediation design and performance monitoring.

When to Use the iFLUX® Sampler

The iFLUX Sampler is particularly well-suited for projects where understanding contaminant transport mechanisms—not just concentrations—is critical to managing risk and optimizing remediation.

Ideal applications include:

• Sites requiring improved understanding of groundwater and contaminant mass flux through saturated porous media

• Heterogeneous aquifers where identifying preferential flow paths is essential

• Sites with complex or dynamic groundwater conditions, including pumping influences, recharge variability, or tidal effects

• Projects where remediation footprint, injection volumes, or amendment placement significantly affect cost and performance

• Performance monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of remedial actions over time

Less suitable applications include:

• Bedrock aquifers dominated by fracture flow

• Sites where simple excavation or conventional remedies fully address project objectives

• Transects dominated by pure-phase (NAPL) conditions, where concentration gradients—not groundwater flow—control transport
