Original ORC® and ORC Advanced® Filter Socks

Product

Some 13 years ago when Oxygen Release Compound (ORC®) was commercialized it was designed to be emplaced into groundwater using Regenesis Pure ORC® Filter Socks (filter socks). Filter socks are permeable, fabric sleeves filled with pure ORC® or ORC Advanced® material. Each filter sock is inserted into a colored, Naltex™ Flex-Guard for maximum durability. When hydrated, filter socks produce controlled release oxygen for periods of up to 12 months on a single application. The abundant oxygen is then readily available to facilitate the proven and cost-effective, enhanced aerobic biodegradation process.

Purpose

Filter socks are designed to deliver controlled release oxygen into a specific well or treatment area with the purpose of creating a very localized but effective accelerated aerobic biodegradation zone. Upon exhaustion of their oxygen supply (anywhere from 8-12 months) the socks can be removed and replaced.

Application/Installation

Filter socks can be inserted into new Regenesis, Application-Time-Saver Canisters or easily laced together using the pre-measured/ pre-cut rope that is supplied with each order (Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4).

Construction

ORC and ORC Advanced Filter Socks are hand-made, permeable fabric sleeves, filled with pure ORC or more recently ORC Advanced. They are approximately 12” long and designed to fit 2”, 4” or 6” diameter wells.

Flex-Guard Durability

All sizes of Regenesis ORC and ORC Advanced Filter Socks include a factory installed, colored, Naltex™ Flex-Guard (green = 2”, yellow = 4” and orange = 6”). This component is designed to prevent rips or tears in the actual sock material assuring durability during the installation and removal process.
