Chemical oxidation systems are an in-situ treatment technology, whereby an oxidant is injected into the contaminant zone. The chemical causes rapid oxidation of the contaminant of concern, resulting in degradation to harmless or less-volatile components. The more common oxidants are ozone, peroxide, and potassium permanganate.
Chemical oxidation systems can be used for the treatment of both LNAPL and DNAPL contamination. The type of oxidant used is highly-dependent on the type of contamination present.
Other considerations in the design of chemical oxidation systems include the required fluid or gas flow rate, and the number of injection wells.
