HYDROGEN PEROXIDE 50% SOLUTION FOR ODOR
AND CORROSION CONTROL
Hydrogen Peroxide 50% is a strong oxidizer effective at
controlling odor-causing sulfides and related oxidizable
compounds in municipal and industrial wastewater systems.
During treatment, it decomposes to oxygen and water,
thereby adding dissolved oxygen to the system which
reduces Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD).

Typical Feed Requirements
It is typically applied to a wastewater system where there
is a retention time of less than two hours and at least
15-30 minutes prior to the point where the hydrogen
sulfide is released. From a carefully selected point(s), the
downstream odors can be mitigated.
Typically application rates are 1-3 pounds of H2O2 (100%)
per pound of sulfide.

Storage and Handling
Packaging
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from
heat, cold sources of ignition, oxidizable materials,
strong alkalis, organic materials, and acids. Storage
containers for Hydrogen Peroxide 50% must be vented
and made of compatible plastics, 304L or 316L stainless
steel, or high purity aluminum. Avoid storage on wood
floors or pallets.
Hydrogen Peroxide 50% solution is normally shipped
in 4,000 gallon bulk tanker loads. Mini bulk deliveries
(<2,000 gallons) are available in many parts of the
country. For further information, please contact your
Evoqua Water Technologies representative. For reorders
and customer service, call 1.800.345.3982.
Hydrogen Peroxide 50% is an oxidizer and a corrosive.
Wear appropriate protective clothing. Avoid prolonged
contact with skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors.
After handling, always wash hands and clothing
thoroughly with soap and water. Do not allow spills
to dry, wash with large quantities of water. Drying on
clothing or other combustible materials may cause fire.
