  Passive Groundwater Sampling / Zero Purge



Zero Purge/Passive Groundwater Sampling Zero purge methods use passive sampling devices to collect samples at discrete depths in the borehole column with minimal disturbance.

Good for:
Sampling from short screened monitoring wells
VOC sampling
Analytical results are generally comparable to low flow
methods
Simple sampling procedure - no purging required.
No purge water generated for disposal

Issues:
Use in long screened boreholes (>6m) is questionable
Specialist technical knowledge in designing sampling protocols is advisable.

Suitable equipment from Waterra: Hydrasleeves, Equilibrators
