Abstract

Abstract Development of the perox-pure™ oxidation system began in the late 1970’s, and there are now about seventy (70) full-scale treatment systems in operation. The process uses high intensity UV light, hydrogen peroxide, and a patented reactor design to catalytically oxidize toxic organics in water. Dissolved organics are converted to carbon dioxide and water and, if present, halogens are converted to halides. Data from bench-scale and full-scale treatment systems are presented along with a discussion of the unique advantages of the perox-pure™ chemical oxidation system. The process can be operated as a closed system generating no air emissions, solid residues, or other secondary pollution problems. Treated water is suitable for discharge, reinjection or reuse. In addition to economic and performance data, recent improvements that provide operating cost savings of up to 50% are highlighted.
