HyperVentilate will not completely design your vapor extraction system or tell you exactly how many days it should be operated. HyperVentilate is both an educational tool for the novice environmental professional and a functional screening tool for the more experienced user. In addition, HyperVentilate contains a list of 62 compounds that can be updated by the user to include a maximum of 400 compounds.
More sophisticated tools are available.
EPA is facilitating the distribution of HyperVentilate because it has found that the software and associated manual can be helpful tools, especially in teaching the user about in-situ soil venting and in guiding the user through a structured thought process to evaluate the applicability of soil venting at a particular site. HyperVentilate software is associated with a Federal Technology Transfer Act Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between EPA and Shell Oil Company, signed in 1990. The software requirements are DOS 3.1 or higher, or Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher. For free software via U.S. Mail, contact David Wiley . Download HyperVentilate v2.0 for Windows .
