TR-41602 A-SOX/O-SOX™ 1/16-inch Nylon®-coated stainless steel cable - 50 feet | DGSI Slope Indicator Passive Remediation
Affordable and effective socks for stimulating anaerobic biodegradation in ground water wells.
EHC-O is an integrated source of slow-release oxygen combined with nutrients and a pH buffering agent to provide the ideal conditions for rapid bioremediation of organic and inorganic soil, sediment and groundwater contaminants. For organic constituents, EHC-O significantly stimulates catabolic activity of indigenous microflora further accelerating the rate of contaminant removal. EHC-O not only eliminates contaminants quickly —but also guarantees appreciable cost savings over other oxygenrelease products on the market. EHC-O’s proprietary technology is field proven and available today.
O-SOX is a delivery mechanism consisting of a fabric sleeve (or sock) filled with EHC-O and a stainless steel canister. For ease of use in groundwater wells, the socks are lowered in the well inside reusable stainless steel canisters. The number of canisters that can be hooked together is limited and governed by well screen length, weight, and the fact that they all need to be submerged.
O-SOX is available in two nominal sizes: 2 x 36 in and 4 x 36 in.
All O-Sox must be placed below the groundwater table and they should be within the screened interval. The wet weight of each 2-inch and 4-inch O-Sox unit (3-ft long canister and sleeve) is about 5 and 16 lbs, respectively. We therefore recommend a maximum linkage of five 2-inch diameter systems (15 ft screened interval; 25 lbs) or three 4-inch diameter systems (9 ft screened interval; 48 lbs). Up to three sets of linked O-Sox units can be used for wells with longer screen lengths.
O-Sox Benefits
- Easiest deployment of dissolved oxygen.
- Enhances Natural Attenuation
- > 50% Less Expensive
- Easy and quick delivery system for groundwater wells
- Long Lasting
Contaminants Treated
- Petroleum hydrocarbons
- PAHs
- Other non-halogenated organic compounds
O-Sox Instructions
- Take a sock from the pail and remove plastic sleeve.
- Insert sock into canister.
- If desired, attach an optional canister and insert a sock.
- Adjust the length of cable required.
- Lower canister in the well.
- Cap rests on top of casing.
Applications
Applications for O-SOX include:
- Oxygen releasing compound in a sock for aerobic bioremediation in ground water wells.
- Easiest deployment of dissolved oxygen.
- Stimulation of aerobic biodegradation of groundwater contaminants through controlled release oxygen and nutrient delivery using EHC-O. This is not an aggresive treatment but, rather, an enhancement to natural attenuation. Ideal for sites where there are residual or thin layer of contaminants.
- The radius of influence depends on the hydrogeology of the site but is still predictably small (in the order of 10 ft radially, 20-50 ft downgradient)
