Advancing the Science of Activated Persulfate with Built-In Activation and Ease of Use
PersulfOX® is an advanced in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) reagent that destroys organic contaminants found in groundwater and soil through abiotic chemical oxidation reactions. It is an all-in-one product with built-in catalyst which activates the sodium persulfate component and generates contaminant-destroying free radicals without the costly and potentially hazardous addition of a seperate activator. The patented catalyst enhances the oxidative destruction of both petroleum and hydrocarbons and chlorinated contaminants in the subsurface.
