“We were impressed with the product because it is a relatively low-cost

alternative to other products. C.I.Agent was estimated to provide a 50-75%
cost savings over equivalent solid concrete containment. We have been
very pleased with the product and the supplier.”

How the C.I.Agent®
EVAC Filtration System Works
Vault water is pumped
through the EVAC
Filtration System. The
water passes through
the four layer system
where hydrocarbons
and fine sediments
are captured. Clean,
filtered water is
released through the
skin of the filter bag
and flows into the
storm drain

 What makes the EVAC
Filtration System Unique?
• Consistent Fabrics – MARV (Min Avg Roll Value*) 97.7%
• Serging/locking stitching keeps filter bag from blowing out
in high flows
• Inner Layer Separation fills each layer before starting onto
the next layer
• Extended filter fitting keeps the inside of the filter open to
evenly distribute the flow, sediment, and hydrocarbon loads

Patent Pending

Integrated Submersible
Extraction Sampler
Uses US EPA methodology to
sequester Pesticides, Herbicides,
PAHs, TPH and other trace organics
from water
 What Makes the C.L.A.M. Unique?
• Micro pumps deliver continuous low flow
rates to draw 10-100 liters through media
in 24-48 hours
• Lowers detection limits 10-100 times
that of 1 liter grab sample
• Calibrations yield accurate total volumes
through media for Quantitative results
• Water drawn through media before - Small 8.5”x2.5” diameter footprint
any contact with tubing or pump – no - Runs on 4 AA lithium batteries
loss of analytes - Weighs just over 1 pound

• No water volumes or coolers to ship

C.L.A.M.
Media and Detection Limits

Uses same approved media used in labs everyday

• SPE (Solid Phase Extraction) disks
are used in EPA method 3535A for
the extraction of trace organics
• Reporting Limits of the lab are
determined by the amount of
sample volume

Quite simply, if an EPA method was run on a 1

liter sample with a given detection limit, the
C.L.A.M. can provide up to 100 liters of sample
lowering the detection limit 100 fold.
