The Perox-pure{trademark} technology uses ultraviolet radiation and hydrogen peroxide to oxidize dissolved organic compounds in water. This technology was evaluated in treating groundwater with volatile organic compounds (VOC) including trichloroethene (TCE); tetrachloroethene (PCE); 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA); 1,1-dichloroehane (DCA); and chloroform. The system achieved maximum removal efficiencies of greater than 99.9, 98.7, and 95.8 percent for TCE, PCE, and DCA, respectively. The treatment system effluent met California drinking water action levels and federal drinking water maximum contaminant levels for all VOCs at the 95 percent confidence level.
