PERMEOX® Ultra Powder is a specially formulated calcium peroxide that provides prolonged oxygen release for enhanced aerobic bioremediation. PERMEOX® Ultra Powder contains at least 18% active oxygen and is available in powder form.
Studies have shown that PERMEOX® Ultra Powder releases more oxygen into the subsurface environment over extended periods as compared to other soil remediation products. PERMEOX® Ultra Powder can continually release oxygen for over 350 days, thus providing a useful and cost-effective tool for enhancing the aerobic bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons and some non-halogenated organics.
PERMEOX® Ultra Powder is formulated to contain ≥18% Active Oxygen (AO), a measure of how much oxygen is available to be released. This compares favorably to the AO levels found in typical calcium peroxide and magnesium peroxide based oxygen release products that are subject to lock up/encapsulation. This means that on a pound to pound basis, PERMEOX® Ultra Powder is able to deliver more oxygen.
PERMEOX® Ultra Powder allows for a workable slurry for injections and does not set up.
Typical Applications
- Direct injections in the plume (slurry)
- In a permeable reactive barrier (PRB)
- Broadcast in open pit/excavation post UST and soil removal
Benefits at a glance
- Microbes use organic carbon (COC/COI) and oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor
- Contains ≥18% active oxygen, which is higher than other grades of calcium peroxide
- Releases oxygen for up to one year, which is the longest oxygen release profile of similar products in the market
