A method to produce percarboxylic acids and/or percarboxyl anions, such as peracetic acid and/or peracetyl anions, is described as well as use of such a system to treat or control the growth of at least one microorganism in aqueous systems such as paper and pulp manufacturing systems, cooling water towers, swimming pools, jacuzzis, hot tubs, ponds breweries, pasteurization systems and the like. The system involves reacting in an aqueous solvent, a sulfate containing reactant with an acid generating acyl activator, like tetraacetylethylenediamine, to form a product comprising percarboxylic acid and/or percarboxyl anions, like peracetic acid and/or peracetyl anions. Methods to control at least one microorganism using the system are further described. |
