The AirBurst air gun has firing chambers available from I cubic inch up to 500 cubic inches and six different sized air guns for broad application coverage. The 500 cubic inch chamber has the energy potential, in terms of foot-pounds, roughly equivalent to 0.6 pounds (273 grams) ofdynamile. The autaller AirBurst air gums can easily and confidently rehabilitate screened sand and gravel wells and even delicate Schedule 80 PVC well screens. According to current Air -Shock literature the largest chamber available is 262 cubic inches with liurlled PON area thereby rcdtleing discharge energy to only X6 grams of dynamite at 3000 psi without any hydrestltiC pressure. AirBurst air guns have port areas larger than throat areas in air gun so that tlnerc is minimal restriction to the energy discharge. AirBurst air guns have many different sized air storage chambers fbr Wh air gun, the bottam chambers can simply be Inlerchanged within Minutes, when more or less energy is required, Air -Shock must exchange the entire gun for another unft.'i'hc enargyavallable Nom a BOltairgun with a given chornber size and pr'essul'e vs lice Air-Shock,Pullis 3 to 8lilnes greater than Air -Shock, yet the AirBurst energy is adjustable to low enough to address PVC well screens. Air -Shock's energy claim is at 3000 Psi withoutany hydrostatic pressure, the Boll air gun energy is at a depth of 30 feet, an extremely significant factor in huvur ofthe Bolt air gun energy, which would be even greater if calculated without hydrostatic pressure. 10, AirBorst has specifically manufactured pneumatic control panyls to Facilitate ca.l and accurate pressure operation oftlte air gun. AirBurst typically as" compressed air or Can use nitrogen as the energy source hsr the All' gull; the air is not used to penetrate the sct'aen anti/or geological formation, The AirBurst can be Provide mathematical calculation in Excel format, to determine bubble size so that the gas does not penetrate the screen; other companies use random pressure and air gun sizes. 11. Ah•Burst routinely, uses the r fn ' v and efficient supply of compressed air from high pressure and low volume Aireompressvrst a Washout pressure is maintained throughout the project, unlike depicting nitrogen cylinders. AlrBm•st can also el'ficlently use compressed gas such as nitrogen if specified. However, it is important to note that the All' produced by ail compressors is 78%nitrogen, so the use of nitrogen gas is of little benefit. AirBurst equ1pntent is trailer mounted and is totally self-contained, there is no waiting for gas suppliers to deliver nitrogen, which can be a major issue if additional gas is need for a big project, there is no additional expense for more compressed air and no waiting. The electronic air gun shuttle timing assures the most efficient use of the gas, whcro Air -Shock has no control of the efflolency, nor does Air -Shock normally oMr an air compressor option, it must rely upon delivery of nitrogen to each project location by the nitrogen supplier. 12.

Ah•Bursi tool is supported by and hoisled by a high strength wire rope from a pump service crane; Air - Shock Is supported and hoisted by nn airinase on a portable reel with minimal lilting capacity.
