Loresco type
SC-3 is a dust-free product. According to EPA extraction tests, it
is extremely pure and complies with regulations governing buried
products. Utilizing a modified industrial standard method for testing
permeability (API RP-27), SC-3 will mitigate fluid interchange between
aquifers.
Loresco SC-3 is produced specifically
for cathodic protection applications using an exclusive multi-step
process. First, a high quality base carbon with desired
characteristics is selected. Next, this carbon is calcined to a
minimum temperature of 1250° C under exacting and controlled
standards. This step results in semi-graphitized carbon particles with
excellent conductivity. Then, to further improve bulk conductivity,
the surfaces of the individual particles are modified to enhance the
contact conductance. This breakthrough in surface alteration ensures
maximum electronic current transfer with positive anode contact.
Finally, a specially formulated surfactant is added to reduce particle
surface tension for compact settling under water.
Loresco SC-3 has a bulk density of 74
lbs. per cubic foot. The fixed carbon content is greater than 99.35%
by weight. The bulk density and high fixed carbon content coupled with
the assured low resistivity medium allows for longer groundbed life at
a lower operating cost.
