Complexities of “New” Peroxide Stabilizers

In the April 2012 issue of our newsletter, we discussed how all experienced in-situ chemical oxidation practitioners use peroxide stabilizers of some type, and that there really is no difference between “catalyzed hydrogen peroxide” and “stabilized hydrogen peroxide” because peroxide must be catalyzed to effectively destroy contaminants and must be stabilized to allow safe andRead More »

Is There a Difference Between “Catalyzed Hydrogen Peroxide” and “Stabilized Hydrogen Peroxide”?

Several clients have contacted us recently regarding in-situ chemical oxidation treatment programs utilizing “stabilized hydrogen peroxide” (SHP), as opposed to “catalyzed hydrogen peroxide” (CHP). Based upon the nature of those discussions, there appears to be a perception that a significant distinction exists between SHP and CHP. Read Full Newsletter »

Why pH is Important for the Implementation of a Successful Catalyzed Hydrogen Peroxide ISCO Treatment Program

There are many formulations utilized today to obtain the radicals formed during the catalyzed hydrogen peroxide (CHP) reaction, which are based on the classical Fenton’s reagent chemistry. CHP is arguably the most versatile oxidant, and an important question to address during remedial program design is whether acidification is necessary as part of the treatment. Read FullRead More »

“Real Time” Treatment Optimization Proves Successful at Active Fertilizer Facility

Geo-Cleanse was contracted by a local environmental consulting firm to design and implement an in-situ chemical oxidation treatment program at a southern NJ active fertilizer facility. The fertilizer facility property included a 77,700 sq ft clay-lined lagoon, which was utilized for onsite storage of washwater from liquid fertilizer tanker and spray trucks. Read Full Newsletter »
