摘要： A system and method for rehabilitating a water well using compressed nitrogen. The method includes compressing air to a first pressure higher than atmospheric pressure; providing the air at the first pressure to a nitrogen generator; removing oxygen from the air, resulting in a nitrogen gas having at least 80% nitrogen; compressing the nitrogen gas to a second pressure higher than the first pressure; inserting a venting apparatus into the bore; and discharging the pressurized nitrogen gas into the bore. In another aspect, a different method of treating a water well is disclosed. The method comprises providing a tank of pressurized nitrogen gas; inserting a venting apparatus into the bore; discharging the pressurized nitrogen gas into the bore; depleting the pressure of the nitrogen gas in the tank to produce low-pressure nitrogen; re-pressurizing the low-pressure nitrogen to a desired pressure; and discharging the re-pressurized nitrogen gas into the bore.
