Chemical Oxidation converts hazardous contaminants to non-hazardous or less toxic compounds that are more stable, less mobile and/or inert; consequent oxygenation additionally promotes bioremediation.
Oxidant delivery systems employ vertical or horizontal injection wells and sparge points with forced advection to rapidly move the oxidant into the subsurface.
Chemical Oxidation achieves high treatment efficiencies (>90%) for unsaturated aliphatic (e.g. trichloroethylene) and aromatic compounds such as benzene with very rapid reaction rates (90% destruction in minutes).
