PersulfOx® SP is an In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) reagent that destroys organic contaminants found in groundwater and soil through powerful, yet controlled, chemical reactions. A sodium persulfate-based technology, PersulfOx® Catalyzed Persulfate employs a patented catalyst to enhance the oxidative destruction of both hydrocarbons and chlorinated contaminants in the subsurface.

Functions: Oxidizing Agent, Reagent

Chemical Family: Sulfates

Applicable Processes: Bioremediation, Soil Remediation

PersulfOx® SP - Chemical Structure

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

Typically, sodium persulfate is activated with the addition of heat, chelated metals, hydrogen peroxide, or base in order to generate sulfate radicals. These activation processes are inherently complex, costly and can pose additional health and safety risks. In comparison, PersulfOx is a relatively safe and easy-to-use ISCO agent with a built-in catalyst which activates the persulfate component, generating contaminant-destroying free radicals without the need for the addition of a separate activator. The equation below shows the net complete oxidation of toluene, a constituent of gasoline, by PersulfOx:

Features
  • Promotes rapid and sustained in situ oxidation of a wide-range of organic contaminants
  • Designed specifically for use when a separate chemical activation process such as iron activation is required
  • Once the activating chemical is consumed, a level of radical formation is sustained as a result of the PersulfOx catalyst’s persistence
  • Can be used as a follow-on treatment to REGENESIS’ PersulfOx Catalyzed Persulfate technology
  • Compatible with combined remedy approaches including enhanced biodegradation

Applications & Uses

Markets
Applications
  •  PersulfOx is mixed with water at a rate of 5% to 20% prior to application.
  • For most applications, REGENESIS suggests a 10-15% solution. The resulting mixture has viscosity  similar to water.
  • Injects into formation through direct push injection points, injection wells or other injection delivery systems.
