What is iSOC™?
iSOC™
is an ingenious oxygen delivery technology, based on inVentures'
patented Gas inFusion™ technology - a unique method of infusing
supersaturated levels of dissolved gas into liquids. At the heart of
iSOC is the propreitary structured polymer mass transfer device.
Microporous hollow fibre provides an enormous surface area for mass
transfer - in excess of 7000 square metres per cubed metre - and is
hydrophobic (will not pass water). Maintaining a gas pressure, less
than the liquid pressure ensures that ultra efficient mass transfer
takes place without the formation of bubbles.
When suspended in existing monitoring wells, iSOC infuses high levels
of oxygen into groundwater, without bubbles, and with a very low decay
rate at atmospheric pressure.
|
iSOC™ is a gas delivery technology that will infuse any
gas into a liquid.
|
|
iSOC™ stands for "in situ submerged oxygen curtain"
|
|
The technology supersaturates the ground water (with low decay
D.O.) to enhance natural attenuation.
|
|
D.O. concentrations range from 40 to 200 ppm depending on aquifer
conditions and placement depth of isoc unit
|
|
The "plug & play" technology has no moving parts
and does not require electricity.
|
|
The technology is.very inexpensive to operate and can be easily
moved to a new injection point or new site,
|
|
The iSOC™ contains over 700 hydrophobic microporous hollow
fibers that allow for the mass transfer of oxygen (and, or alkane
gases).
|
|
The oxygen transfer efficiency is heady a 100%.
|
|
The iSOC™ unit measures 1.62 inches by 15 inches and infuses
4 to 10 times more D.O. than any competitive technology.
|
|
The iSOC™ unit will work in a 2-inch monitoring well or
larger.
|
|
The iSOC™ is connected to a control panel with a 0.250
inch outside diameter polyurethane tubing (0.170 I D) and the
same tubing connects the control panel to the oxygen canister.
|
|
The rotameter on the iSOC™ control panel is typically set
at 15 cc/min which means that one iSOC unit will use approximately
.77 cubic feet of oxygen per day (depending on placement depth
of the iso¢ unit).
|
|
A typical 40 cubic foot cylinder (7 x 18 inches) will last approximately
50 days.
|
|
The iSOC™ unit has a radius of influence of 10-15 feet
and is typically installed up gradient of the source or monitoring
well.
|
| The technology is primarily dependent on ground
water velocity and the oxygen demands, of the aquifer. Molecular
dispersion will also play a key role in tight soils. |
The technology can be used as a primary remediation
strategy, for polishing or
for off-site migration. |
