RusFoam - Model OC (AC-645) -Odor-Control Foam
RusFoam OC long duration foam produces a thick, long-lasting, viscous foam barrier for immediate control of dust, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). RusFoam OC is recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, state agencies and major corporations as providing superior emission control for a period up to 17 hours. It has been specified for use at Superfund and other hazardous waste sites across the United States and Canada, and elsewhere in the world. RusFoam OC is designed for use with all Rusmar Pneumatic Foam Units.

- Will not add to treatment costs
- More effective than the competition
The primary application for RusFoam OC is control of odors, VOCs and dust during active excavation and for overnight coverage of contaminated soils at hazardous waste sites. RusFoam OC can also be applied on liquid surfaces, such as lagoons and retention ponds.
The remediation of hazardous waste sites often includes excavation of soil contaminated with odorous compounds. RusFoam OC has no odor itself, although a pleasant wintergreen or vanilla scent can be added. It forms a barrier between contaminants and the atmosphere and can be applied during active excavation to provide an immediate and effective barrier to minimize odors. It is completely biodegradable and poses no threat to workers, neighboring residents or ground water.
Solves Transportation Problems
RusFoam OC can also be applied on top of trucks, railcars and barges for odor and emission control during transport of materials such as contaminated soils or sewage sludge. Ammonia tests performed on trucks containing sewage sludge resulted in a drop of concentration levels from 170 ppm prior to foaming down to 6 ppm after coverage with RusFoam OC.
- Minimizes worker exposure
- Maintains fence-line odor and VOC emission limits
- Effective on lagoon and pond closures
- Can be applied to near vertical or liquid surfaces
Controls Fugitive Dust
At hazardous waste sites, fugitive dust can present a health hazard. RusFoam OC can be applied on top of the dusty material to prevent any wind-borne emissions. There is no need to mobilize equipment to immediately cover with soil or tarps. The Pneumatic Foam Unit can be filled and placed at the site to be used at a moment’s notice.
Cleans Up Emergency Spills
In emergency spills, odor and VOC control is often difficult because of the terrain and accident conditions. RusFoam OC can be applied to any shaped object, as well as steep slopes, water, mud, snow and ice. It is non-flammable and non-reactive. Difficult spill problems can be accommodated.
Method of Application
RusFoam OC is supplied in either 450 pound (200L) drums or in bulk. Bulk shipments can be stored outside in a Rusmar Bulk Storage-Dilution System. The Bulk Storage and Dilution system is comprised of a 7000 gallon (26,500L) heated and stirred chemical storage tank with a microprocessor to accurately dilute and transfer the chemical.
RusFoam OC is designed to be applied with a Rusmar Pneumatic Foam Unit. The Pneumatic Foam Units are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate a range of site conditions and application needs.
