Detailed Insights with MIP probing

EnISSA’s unique detection system combines MIP with the analytical power of GC-MS. The result? Highly detailed information on both soil contamination and soil stratigraphy.

How does it work?

Using an innovative sampling method, we connect the MIP probe directly to the GC-MS detector. This clever combination allows a GC-MS analysis to be performed every 30 cm, enabling the identification of individual Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). With such a high density of data points, we gain clear insights into the presence and distribution of contamination.

  • Flexible, project-specific detectors: We can deploy customized, component-specific detectors tailored to each project, based on our unique combination of GC-MS and optimized data processing, ensuring the most relevant and precise data collection for your site’s unique needs.
 
  • We create specific profiles for each individual compound. After calibration with standard solutions, the results are compared with groundwater concentrations. This supports further investigation to delineate the entire groundwater contamination plume.
 
  • By performing measurements across the full depth of the probing, we significantly reduce the risk of missing contamination. This is often a limitation when investigating with monitoring wells, where sampling can miss contamination at certain depths.
 
  • By measuring a range of individual compounds, we gain a unique understanding of (bio)degradation process of chlorinated solvents. 
 
  • Additional parameters, such as MBTE, MEK, n-butyl acetate, hexane, acetone, and 1,4-dioxane, can also be detected and mapped. The result? Even more valuable data to support the design of a successful remediation plan.
