PFAS research: the right choice of materials

Additional material guidelines apply to PFAS monitoring. Standard PVC monitoring wells are approved for one-off exploratory research. Virgin HDPE is recommended for long-term monitoring. Pump hoses exclusively HDPE or silicone.

Products

  • No. Use only the corresponding BioBuis items, otherwise the benefit of full biodegradability will be lost.

  • Yes. The BioBuis does not adversely affect the soil sample and therefore meets this requirement.

  • The technical lifespan is 1 year from the date of installation. Preferably take samples within a maximum of 3 months after installation.

  • That depends on the borehole diameter, the filter gravel, and the application. Please check the dimensions on the product page or contact us for tailored advice.

  • For one-off exploratory research (NEN 5740), standard PVC monitoring wells with threaded connections without glue are approved in accordance with the PFAS Sampling Guidelines. For long-term monitoring, virgin HDPE is recommended. Pump hoses must always be made of HDPE or silicone: no LDPE, no Teflon.

  • Yes. VRM monitoring wells and filter products comply with the material and installation requirements of BRL SIKB 2000 Protocol 2001 and 2002.

  • PVC is the standard for most dewatering applications. HDPE is preferred in cases of aromatic contamination or chemically harsher soil conditions. VRM provides advice based on your specific situation.

  • Yes. The LevelLog communicates via LTE-M and is directly accessible through the VRM LevelLog web portal. Multiple loggers can be managed within a network, featuring interactive map displays, alerts, and data export. No calibration or tools are required for installation.

  • In accordance with the KIWA BRL K567 standard, the BioBuis has a lifespan of at least 1 year after installation. VRM recommends completing the sampling period within that year. After use, the borehole is sealed with Mikolit clay pellets or clay seals, available from VRM.
