How AirBurst® Works
AirBurst® is a patented process that utilizes the patented Bolt Technology air gun to stimulate selected water producing zones within a water well by creating beneficial vibrations and surging actions.
A small volume of air/inert gas is stored within the air gun and when explosively released generates a seismic shock wave and creates high velocity movement of the water surrounding the air gun. This energy release results in removal of encrusted scales, bio-mass and sedimentation from the well bore, screen and geological formations.
AirBurst® energy is infinitely adjustable without removing the air gun from the well. Multiple bursts, several seconds apart, will develop every inch of the well structure.

Why AirBurst® is Better
- Specific areas of concern in the borehole can be identified and individually treated
- Air gun precisely directs treatment energy
- Effective on all types of well structures and geological formations
- Every inch of the desired areas can be bursted with varying energy levels
- Real-time improvements can be observed by pumping during the AirBurst® process
- No hazardous chemicals, no permitting, no dangerous application, no disposal
- AirBurst® is a Green Process, it uses only air or inert gasses as the energy source
- No chemical byproducts
- No explosives
- Excellent process control, created energy is infinitely adjustable
- Location of energy discharge and number of discharges is surface adjustable
- Monitor effectiveness, change energy parameters as necessary during the process
- Safe, air gun is not energized until it is down the well
- Safe, air gun is de-energized prior to removal from the well
- All equipment is designed to far exceed maximum air gun operating pressure
- AirBurst® is always the first and best treatment
- AirBurst® will eliminate the paths of least resistance for chemistry
- Effective results do not require chemicals
- Non-hazardous chemistry, e.g. bio-film dispersants, can provide additional benefit
- AirBurst® can thoroughly disperse chemistry and provide beneficial agitation
