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 leacherate tests, SW meets all purity requirements for
materials utilized in underground burial.
Installation:
Loresco SW may be poured freely in dry applications. If SW is poured through
water, the rate should not exceed one hundred pounds per minute. The rate of
pouring should be decreased if the fluid is a light mud.
