Klozur® CR is a single, formulated product consisting of alkaline activated Klozur® SP and PermeOx® Ultra engineered calcium peroxide, uniting the strengths of both products to treat contaminant source zones and down-gradient plumes.
Klozur CR is formulated to provide a self-activated persulfate oxidation system which couples chemical oxidation with aerobic and anaerobic bioremediation processes that can last up to one year after application.
Klozur® CR can be utilized as a combined remedy for the treatment of BTEX, MTBE, PAHs and petroleum hydrocarbons, or as an alkaline activated persulfate system for the destruction of chlorinated solvents and pesticides. As a result, the product can be readily applied to either source areas or plumes with mixed petroleum and chlorinated solvents contamination.
