PeroxyChem constructed a manufacturing facility in Memphis, TN to produce an innovative peracetic acid based wastewater treatment product called VigorOx WWT II for the city of Memphis and surrounding communities. PeroxyChem’s flagship large scale facility produces an innovative peracetic-acid based wastewater treatment product, VigorOx WWT II, for the city of Memphis and surrounding communities.
