  Calcium Peroxide
Calcium peroxide is a solid peroxygen compound. It is safe and convenient to handle. When brought in contact with water, it decomposes into hydrogen peroxide and calcium hydroxide. Hydrogen peroxide, thus released, is utilised for various applications. The product causes no adverse effect to the environment. Branded formulations, Aqua X and Ocare, have been developed for aquaculture and environmental applications respectively.

Properties:
  • Composition: Calcium peroxide 50%, lime and stabilisers
  • Contact with water: Decomposes into hydrogen peroxide and lime

Applications:

  • Removal of toxins from the soil at the bottom of the pond
  • Water quality maintenance: control of plankton, nitrites, H2S etc.
  • It helps improve productivity of the shrimp farms through better management of pond water and soil quality

OCARE
Properties:

  • Composition: Active peroxygen: 50%, inactive 50%: Ca(OH)2 , water, stabilisers
  • Active oxygen content: 11% min. by weight
  • Bulk density (gms/cc): 0.8-0.9
    Solubility (20°C): Acid soluble, water slightly soluble

Applications:
OCARE provides the easiest way to maintain wastewater and contaminated soil quality in following areas:

  • Stops bad odour in sludge/ municipal drains/ industrial waste water caused by toxic and inflammable hydrogen sulphide
  • Improves dissolved oxygen in water by continuous and slow release of oxygen.
  • Destroys organic compounds and reduces COD and BOD values in effluent waters.
  • Neutralises acids in waste waters.
  • Precipitates heavy metals from industrial waste water.
  • Improves settling of sludge in clarifiers.
  • Adds no toxins to treated sludge and water.
