Absorbent material for immediate response or minimal product.

Application:

• Passive LNAPL Recovery.

Description

• 36 in Canister
• Absorbent Socks for 1, 2 and 4 in Canisters

 

SoakEase™ is a product-selective absorbent sock housed inside a stainless steel canister. It is used as a passive collection system for free phase product such as jet fuel, gasoline or diesel fuel from 1.25 in and larger recovery wells, monitoring wells and recovery trenches.

 

The SoakEase™ can be used as a bailer for periodic product removal or as a dedicated system for a more continuous method of recovery. Prior to dedicating the SoakEase™, it is recommended that excess free product be removed by bailing with the SoakEase™.

 

To use SoakEase™ as a bailer, an absorbent sock is placed in the stainless steel canister; a cord is attached to the support loop and then lowered through the product layer. The full length of the sock should come into contact with the product for greater recovery. Immediately, the SoakEase™ will begin absorbing product at a rate of approximately 0.1 gallon per second, depending on the product viscosity. After some time, the SoakEase™ should be raised from the well; the sock removed from the canister and disposed of in accordance with regulations.

 

To use the SoakEase™ as a dedicated system, determine the amount of product present and the water table fluctuation using the PWI interface meter (TR-921). When these have been determined, the SoakEase™ may be installed to accommodate level changes up to 36 in.

 

Tech Tip: The product absorption rate is determined by the viscosity of the product and can vary depending on site conditions. The SoakEase™ is designed to be used with hydrocarbon- based products. The user must determine the necessary replacement schedule by gauging site conditions. The socks can be squeezed out and reused. Approximately 80% of the original absorption can be recovered.
