Project Overview
The Membrane Interface Probe System (MIPS) is a Cone Penetrometer- or Geoprobe-deployed probe for the field screening of high concentration dissolved Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Technology Description
The MIPS incorporates a heated semi-permeable membrane into the cone penetrometer (CP) tip. VOCs diffuse through the membrane into a carrier gas, which circulates through tubing to analytical instruments at the surface. Once the MIPS probe is retracted, the hole can be grouted through the CP rod itself.
