PRODUCT:
Oxy Boost has been developed to provide
controlled release of oxygen for enhanced environmental and
industrial applications:
*Municipal odor control
*Sludge conditioning
*Bioenhancement
*Composting
Oxy Boost releases hydrogen peroxide over
time, which in application is decomposed to oxygen and water by
enzymes and residual metals. Oxy Boost is applicable in
wastewater, sludges, and soils, releasing in as little as a few
hours or up to several months depending on the application. The
principal reaction products of Oxy Boost are oxygen by way
of hydrogen peroxide, water, hydrated lime and calcium
carbonate.

APPLICATIONS
Deodorization of Sludges and wastewater
Oxy Boost : is used to eliminate sulfide odors
from sludges and wastewater. Oxy Boost acts in three
ways to eliminate these odors. The hydrogen peroxide released
reacts directly with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to
destroy it. The oxygen released maintains the system aerobic,
thus preventing the reformation of H2S by anaerobic
digestion The alkali released stabilizes the system to neutral
or slightly basic, thus reducing release of odors. Since Oxy Boost
releases oxygen over along period of time, a single addition to
sludge allows odor control over extended periods of time. Oxy Boost
is useful in controlling odor in wetwells or mains.
Sludge Thickening and Conditioning
Oxy Boost promotes thickening of sludges while
conditioning them for easy dewatering. When applied to
clarifiers it promotes settling forming large, strong flocs
while preventing denitrification and bulking. When applied to
sludges prior to dewatering, it yields filter cakes which are
higher in solids and lower in volume. It substitutes lime at a
fraction of the application rate, thus greatly reducing disposal
costs. Due to its residual effect, Oxy Boost can control
odor from dewatered sludges.
Bioenhancement
Due to its oxygen time-release effect,Oxy Boost
can be used efficiently as a source of oxygen for biomass, thus
enhancing its activity. In addition, Oxy Boost acts as a
source of alkali to stabilize the substrate and neutralize
acidic metabolic by-products. Oxy Boost is particularly
useful in situations where aeration is not practical, such as in
soil and sludges, or where hydrogen peroxide efficiency is low
due to excessive decomposition. In land farming application, a
single addition of Oxy Boost can greatly decrease or
totally eliminate need for tilling. The addition of Oxy Boost to compost piles eliminated the need for mechanical turning and
reduces odor problems. Its use in bioreactors avoids the need
for expensive and unreliable aeration system. In biological
treatment facilities, the addition of Oxy Boost helps
overcome stressed situations due to oxygen deficiency, increase
throughput, and augment biomass in operations such as rotary
biological contactors.
Application Example
To provide the required dissolved oxygen to a
7570 kl per day waste stream flow, the following levels of Oxy Boost
should theoretically be added. Some variation from
theoretical may be experienced due to side reactions.
Desired D.O. Increase KG Oxy Boost per 7570KL Flow
0.5 25.4 kg
1.0 50.8 kg
1.5 76.2 kg
2.0 101.6 kg
2.5 127 kg
3.0 152.4 kg
3.5 177.8 kg
4.0 203.2 kg
SAFETY
A basic understanding of the properties of Oxy Boost
solid peroxygen is the first step in the safe handling of this
chemical. The product is an oxidizer, thus contact with any
combustible material should be avoided. This includes paper,
cotton, organics, wood, leather, reducing agents and other
oxidizers. Oxy Boost solid peroxygen chemicals are not
flammable but will contribute oxygen to seed a fire.
Contamination, heat and humid conditions will enhance and
accelerate decomposition. The decomposition reaction is
endothermic and releases large volumes of oxygen which may cause
rupture of inadequately vented container and promote or initiate
combustion in other materials. Particularly active contaminants
are transition metal ions such as iron, copper, lead, cobalt,
chromium and manganese. Avoid subjecting material to
friction which could result in heat catalyzed decomposition.
Fires involving Oxy Boost are best controlled by using
large quantities of Water.
STABILITY
Oxy Boost solid peroxygen chemicals are
very stable peroxygen compounds when stored in original
containers away from heat and humidity. Oxy Boost will
suffer only minimal available oxygen loss under these
conditions. Shelf life, under proper conditions, can exceed one
year. Stability is adversely affected by heat or humidity. The
loss of active oxygen under high temperatures and humid
conditions is a slow process; Oxy Boost will not react
violently to release oxygen. At temperatures of 275°C or higher
- even in a dry environment - Oxy Boost will decompose
endothermically.
STORAGE CONDITIONS:
For optimal shelf life product is best stored in cool
areas (under 38°C), keep container tightly closed when product
is not being removed from container. Handle spills by dilution
with water.
