Why use iFLUX Samplers?

Removing all contamination in the underground is often unrealistic and economically unfeasible. By measuring groundwater and contaminant transport over time, our iFLUX Samplers enable faster and more cost-efficient remediation projects.

Simulations based on groundwater level measurements aim to predict flow, but without directly measuring water or pollutant flux. This approach may lack precision and reliability.

Flux measurements, on the other hand, deliver more accuracy.
iFLUX Samplers give more certainty about which contaminants are present in the groundwater, how they behave, and at what velocity they move.

Features and benefits

The patented iFLUX Samplers are groundbreaking for their ability to measure mass flux and water flux simultaneously, easily, and accurately.

Customizable & Modular

Our system can be tailored to fit any well size and allows measurements of varying compounds at several depths, simultaneously.

Easy-to-install

Thanks to its patented design, the installation on site takes around 10 minutes per location, including the measurement of groundwater levels and the depth of the monitoring well.

Broadly applicable

The iFLUX Samplers are validated for +150
different contaminant types, and the list is still growing. Additional validation can be performed upon request.

"We don't make estimates, we measure what is really happening in the underground."

Remediation is extremely costly, so it’s best to do it in a targeted way and get it right the first time. The iFLUX Sampler is a unique tool that accurately monitors groundwater dynamics and contamination. When should you use the iFLUX Sampler? And when not? We spoke with our colleague Erik Bosmans.

What makes iFLUX Samplers so unique?

Current monitoring relies on water levels and snap shot concentrations while flow and pollution fluxes are the missing link, responsible for the highest uncertainties in modelling predictions and future scenarios. That is why iFLUX developed their own patented technologies for measuring groundwater fluxes.

With iFLUX samplers we simultaneously monitor the water flow velocity (‘waterflux’) and the contaminant spreading (‘Compound flux’) in groundwater.

The key innovation of iFLUX is situated in the self-developed, validated and patented cartridges. iFLUX delivers several types of cartridges:

render4-cartridges

iFLUX Samplers have been designed to tightly fit in the monitoring well. The permeable cartridge wall brings the contaminated groundwater in direct contact with the sorbents. By performing targeted flux measurements in different monitoring wells, you are able to get an accurate image of the mass discharge over a complete area.

Water flux cartridges

The water flux cartridge contains a set of water soluble resident tracers that independently leach into the groundwater according to the flow conditions.

Compound cartridges

The compound cartridge contains pre-processed sorbents that capture the pollutants of interest. The contaminant fluxes in the groundwater are being determined through adsorption and recovery processes.

Each type of cartridge contains a different type of sorbent. The following compound cartridges are commercially available at the moment:

(Volatile) Organic Compounds (VOCs, BTEX, PAHs,...)
Nutrients (nitrate, phosphate, ammonium,...)
Heavy metals (nickel, zinc, copper,...)
PFAS
...
