THE USE OF OXIDIZING AND NON-OXIDIZING BIOCIDES FOR CONTROL OF BACTERIA TOLERANT TO STABILIZED-OXIDANT TREATMENT

摘要

The invention provides for treatment strategies that prevent or control the growth of organisms that degrade oxidant stabilizers in oxidant stabilized biocides. This allows stabilized halogen programs to perform at their intended level and prevents the need for increased halogen usage in an attempt to maintain control of these microbial populations and reduce the halogen-demand created by their enzyme byproducts.
