What chemical can I add to oxygenate sewage?

Question

by none mechanical means.
For use in a campervan.

Answer 1

Chemicals found in fertiltilzer are used to improve oxygenation so you could try looking at the components in a bag of it.

Answer 2

While on break from a trade school, I worked at the local water plant. For the sewage, they used pure peroxide along with aeration. So try adding peroxide, the store bought solution is only a 1% mix so a whole bottle should do the trick.... Im not sure what your trying to accomplish but this should help.....

Answer 3

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colourless in a dilute solution, slightly more viscous than water. It is a weak acid. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that has found use as a disinfectant, as an oxidizer, and in rocketry (particularly in high concentrations as high-test peroxide (HTP) as a monopropellant), and in bipropellant systems.

Solutions containing more than about 8 percent hydrogen peroxide are corrosive to the skin. So be careful.

bleach contain hydrogen peroxide, but will kill bacteria which naturally "cleans" the waste. I think your answer is lots of bleach, but you may want to resubmit the question as a chemical toilet options question, possibly under environmental issues.

Answer 4

Your best, cheapest is O2.! Other options include ozone which is replacing chlorine in many plants. Many ozone generators are available for hot tubs which would work in a camper. Better ozone generators have appeared in the last 10 years than were previously available. Solid state devices produce ultraviolet rays which generate ozone at a much cheaper rate.

Answer 5

There is a chemical to oxygenate aquarium water but I don't know what it is and I can't remember the name. I used them when I transported my fish tank. You could find out from a pet shop, maybe this site;
