Perox-pure (trade name) Chemical Oxidation Technology, Peroxidation Systems, Inc. , applications analysis report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5431369

The report evaluates the perox-pure chemical oxidation technology's ability to remove volatile organic compounds (VOC) and other organic contaminants present in liquid wastes. The report also presents economic data from the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) demonstration and three case studies. The perox-pure chemical oxidation technology was developed by Peroxidation Systems Inc. (PSI), to destroy dissolved organic contaminants in water. The technology uses ultraviolet (UV) radiation and hydrogen peroxide to oxidize organic compounds present in water at parts per million levels or less. The treatment technology produces no air emissions and generates no sludge or spent media that require further processing, handling, or disposal. The perox-pure chemical oxidation technology was demonstrated under the SITE Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Site 300 in Tracy, CA. Over a 3-week period in September 1992, about 40,000 gallons of VOC contaminated ground water was treated in the perox-pure system.
