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 wet wells 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 ofOxy 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.

1.0 50.8 kg
1.5 76.2 kg
2.0 101.6 kg
2.5 127 kg
3.0 152.4 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. |
