Siemens Water Technologies offers the patented BIOXIDE® solution as a means to eliminate the odor, corrosion and safety problems associated with hydrogen sulfide in sewage.  BIOXIDE® is a unique, proven product because it achieves sewage odor control naturally, rather than chemically. As a result, BIOXIDE® both removes dissolved hydrogen sulfide and prevents its formation.

The addition of BIOXIDE® solution acts to introduce nitrate oxygen into a waste stream and creates an environment in which certain naturally occurring bacteria thrive. These bacteria utilize the dissolved hydrogen sulfide which is present as a part of their metabolism, thereby cost effectively removing any dissolved hydrogen sulfide from the wastewater. This process eliminates the odor, corrosion and safety problems associated with atmospheric hydrogen sulfide.

In addition, BIOXIDE® combats most other odors commonly found in wastewater treatment systems.

The BIOXIDE® solution has a proven track record for controlling hydrogen sulfide in a variety of collection system applications across hundreds of installations in the U.S.  Demonstrated results include dissolved hydrogen sulfide concentrations of over 50 ppm are reduced to <0.1 ppm in the most severe applications.

Additional products within the BIOXIDE® solution family include:

BIOXIDE® AE and BIOXIDE® AE 45 solutions are patented products developed to take advantage of the benefits of our BIOXIDE® solution along with the the addition of extra alkalinity into the process to increase the benefits of using one or the other chemical solution alone.
BIOXIDE - AQ® solution is a patented product which combines our BIOXIDE® solution with the addition of AQUIT® solution to forma powerful hydrogen sulfide removal and prevention system. BIOXIDE - AQ® solution partially blocks the ability of anaerobes to utilize sulfate as an oxygen source and slows biological generation.
