AquaBlok+ORGANOCLAY will preferentially adsorb and cloister a advanced ambit of hydrocarbon and petroleum based contaminants. It can be activated in alleviative activities at MGP sites, copse alleviative accessories and a advanced ambit of refinery and/or discharge ascendancy applications in the water, sediments or soils.
Toledo, Ohio -- AquaBlok, Ltd., a architect of avant-garde clay-based blended materials, is appreciative to advertise the addition of a new organoclay artefact that provides for affluence of accumulation and bigger achievement of this able-bodied accepted alleviative actual technology.
Organoclay Applied Through Water
AquaBlok+ORGANOCLAY provides the afterward primary benefits, compared to the use of accepted delicate or pelletized organoclay products:
- Improved accumulation through a continuing baptize cavalcade -- to sediments More able use of organoclay through use of a attenuate blanket on a substrate/core Better artefact capability through college organoclay apparent across Lower amount per batter for a ambition aggregate Ease of Handling and placement
AquaBlok+ORGANOCLAY works due to the different backdrop of organically adapted clays. In accepted terms, it functions on the assumption of adsorption through Ionic Bonding. There is no absolute exchange, area one atom is commissioned for another. Each atom of adobe and contaminant always wrestles for control of the other. This band is able abundant that the contaminant atom is removed from the baptize and will not be appear after the accession of a cogent alfresco antecedent of energy.
Organoclays accept been acclimated for abounding years in baptize ablution and a advanced ambit of added petroleum contagion accompanying applications. Generally, AquaBlok+ ORGANOCLAY is accepted to adsorb amid 50-100% of the absolute weight of the organoclay present in the particle. This allotment of organoclay can alter from 20-40% depending on the adapted analysis design, contaminant actual and concentration.
AquaBlok+ORGANOCLAY is applicative to a advanced ambit of accepted contaminant issues as able-bodied as a ambit of actual archetypal remediation website characteristics. Below is a fractional advertisement of both types of sites and contaminants, as able-bodied as archetypal uses area the actual can be applied.
Types of Sites/Contaminants:
Manufactured Gas Plants (MGP)
Wood Treatment Facilities (Creosote)
Coal Tar (BTEX)
PAHs / NAPL
PCBs
Uses:
Sediment Capping
Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRB)
Cut-off Walls / Soil Mixing
Refinery Pipe Racks
Berms / Spill Control Applications
What Makes AquaBlok+ORGANOCLAY Better
Two important advantages are provided by AquaBlok's organoclay product. First, the close accumulated amount of the coated atom (greater mass) bigger delivers organoclay admitting the baptize to the sediments, area all of the adsorbent actual can be bigger utilized. Second, the beyond bore apparent of the organoclay coated atom presents a college able apparent across to abeyant contaminants. This provides for a added able use of the high-value organoclay basic at a amount that is lower than authentic organoclay.
Other important appearance of AquaBlok+ORGANOCLAY:
- Remains permeable, acceptance all the able adsorbent actual to be activated Is hydrophobic, so it is unimpacted from abridgement of baptize for a aeon of time Can be alloyed with clay or added absorbent media for use in absolute of crabbed seeps When configured as a "gate" with a "funnel and gate" system, can selectively abduction discharges from abysmal seeps of altitude alias accompanying discharges Placement below a low permeability AquaBlok cap will abbreviate array of analysis band due to able use of actual in crabbed bleed below cap
About AquaBlok, Ltd.
AquaBlok, Ltd. is a architect of blended (clay-based) abstracts utilizing its patented blanket and alteration approach. The aggregation has a continued history in the ecology industry and a ambit of articles activated in debris remediation technologies. AquaBlok utilizes its accumulation arrangement in a ambit of added articles including, pond and automated bondage sealing, as bleed collars on piping, to assemble absolute walls in absorptive clay conditions, flood ascendancy applications (i.e. beach and dam protection), and to bear organoclay-based materials. In addition, AquaBlok is a licensee of Halliburton's Bariod Division for the Baraclear® algae analysis product.
