Loresco type SW is designed for use in
impressed current surface systems. SW is also suitable
for containerized anode systems and semi-deep
impressed current systems. SW may be poured dry or
through water or light mud.
Loresco SW exhibits a
hard, round shape and does not require tamping because
of its ability to go full density with simple pouring.
The bulk density of SW is 54 lbs. per cubic foot with
a porosity of 56.7%. The particle sizing of SW ranges
from 1 mm to 12 mm.
The manufacture of SW
is in a highly controlled "hot" atmosphere which
produces a particle surface with wettable
characteristics. This allows SW to be freely poured
directly into water or light mud without sacrificing
system integrity due to poorly compacted carbon.
Set-up time is almost instantaneous.
Loresco SW is a product
designed to be placed in the earth. According to
EPA-approved leachate tests, SW meets all purity
requirements for materials utilized in underground
burial.
