FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(Business Wire)-- In-Situ® Inc. announced today the new Virtual HERMIT Aquifer Testing Kit for simplifying groundwater characterization tests. Exclusively from In-Situ® Rentals, the Virtual HERMIT Kit can be used to run step-drawdown tests and constant-rate pump tests. The Virtual HERMIT Testing Kit saves money by reducing field time and minimizing data processing. Hydrologists acquire accurate results that improve environmental assessments of contaminated sites, groundwater development plans, and groundwater dewatering projects. The kit includes Virtual HERMIT software, up to eight Level TROLL® 700 instruments, an eight-port Rugged TROLL® Net Hub, and RuggedReader® handheld PC. One Rugged TROLL Net Hub networks up to eight Level TROLL 700 instruments. Multiple TROLL Net Hubs can be networked for large-scale aquifer tests. Virtual HERMIT software simultaneously configures, starts, steps, or stops all Level TROLL 700 instruments deployed in a well field. Users can step logarithmic logs to capture pump and recovery data on the same log without reprogramming. During a test, hydrologists can view real-time data from all Level TROLL 700 instruments at the same time. This facilitates troubleshooting and on-the-fly adjustments to aquifer test protocols. The Virtual HERMIT software exports time-synchronized data from all Level TROLL logs into one data file. Data is easily exported to commonly available aquifer analysis software.

Hydrogeologists can rent RuggedCable® systems, BaroTROLL® instruments, water level tapes, and pumps.
