ORC Advanced® Pellets
Dust Minimizing Formulation
for Excavations, Tank Pits and Trenches
Description
Figure 1: ORC-A Pellets are approximately 3-10 mm in size.
ORC Advanced® Pellets (ORC-A Pellets) are a pelletized version of REGENESIS' widely used ORC Advanced and are designed specifically for direct application into excavations, tank pits and trenches. This pelletized, dry application material minimizes airborne dust while eliminating the need for specialized equipment and spray water required for powder-slurry applications. ORC Advanced Pellets are approximately 3-10 mm in size as shown in Figure 1.
Function
The primary function of ORC-A Pellets is to provide a controlled-release oxygen source for the enhanced aerobic bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons or other aerobically degradable compounds. This is achieved through the use of patented processes which embed phosphates into the crystalline structure of solid per oxygen molecules. This feature slows the reaction that releases oxygen upon hydration, producing an optimized, controlled-release of oxygen over a period of up to 12 months. ORC-A Pellets deliver up to 17% active oxygen by weight and contain micro-nutrients such as: nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (N,P,K) which may be beneficial to aerobic biodegradation processes.
Features and Benefits:
- Optimal for use in excavations, tank pits and trenches where enhanced aerobic bioremediation is appropriate
- Pellet size (3-10 mm) minimizes airborne dust during handling and application of the material
- Dry application form eliminates need for water and equipment required for powder-slurry application types
- Patented technology provides long-term, controlled-release oxygen for periods of up to 12 months on a single application
- Unique molecular structure delivers highest amount of active oxygen available, up to 17% by weight
- Contains micro-nutrients including: nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (N,P,K) which may benefit aerobic microorganisms
