DO Supplementation: Hydrogen Peroxide or OXIGEN™?
Historically, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) has been added to wastewater to increase dissolved oxygen (DO) and control sulfide-based odor formation. Although H₂O₂ can aid in DO supplementation and odor control, it is not always the most efficient treatment method. Depending on dosage, a DRROP™ Pod equipped with Menen’s proprietary OXIGEN™ solution can save more than 10x compared to H₂O₂.
Although 37% H₂O₂ comes at a premium compared to OXIGEN™, the application of dosing it to wastewater is less operationally intensive. Leasing a temporary H₂O₂ metering system comes at a lower cost than monthly equipment rental fees for dosing OXIGEN. To compare the two, a graph of monthly costs is plotted as a function of O₂ demand. The results indicate that if more than 150 pounds per day (PPD) of O₂ are needed monthly, it is more economical to use OXIGEN™.
