US Peroxide’s 27% Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment Program offered the refinery several benefits:
A steel mill was facing recurring challenges with its concentrated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) installations, which had become outdated and were constructed with subpar materials. These issues led to frequent downtime for repairs, significantly affecting the mill’s operations. The outdated systems not only caused delays but also raised concerns about the...

Project Scope
A Northeast engineering firm was selected to clean up a former roofing tar manufacturing site in Queens, NY. Following extensive bench testing and a comprehensive pilot study, they selected a treatment program using a remediation contractor’s surfactant enhanced In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) technology. Due to the extent of...

Landfill leachate can be very challenging to effectively treat as it is often characterized by significant odor, high COD, phenols and dissolved metals. In some cases, leachates can be toxic or inhibitory to downstream biological treatment systems. Furthermore, due to the variability of landfill material, weather patterns and content age,...

ABSTRACT
In 2008, the Green Bay (Wisconsin) Metropolitan Sewerage District acquired the De Pere Wastewater Treatment Facility and interceptors from the City of De Pere. Two of those interceptors received wastewater from paper mills exhibiting high biochemical oxygen demand and high temperatures. Mill wastewater contributed 80 percent of the total...
