What contaminants are amenable to O-Sox treatment?
The rate and extent of removal of all organic compounds that are biodegraded under aerobic conditions are usually enhanced via the addition of oxygen and inorganic nutrients. Petroleum-based aromatic (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylene, phenol) and aliphatic hydrocarbon mixtures (e.g., gasoline, heating oil, Diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene) are primarily targets; lightly chlorinated ethenes (vinyl chloride), MTBE, dioxane, pentachlorophenol, and many other compounds are also potentially amenable to O-Sox treatment.
