CONTROLLING ACTIVITY OF MICROORGANISMS IN WASTEWATER SYSTEMS

摘要

A process for controlling microbial growth in aqueous streams or environments comprising providing an electrochemical system having an anode and a cathode separated by a separator, feeding an aqueous stream to the anode, producing an alkaline stream and/or a hydrogen peroxide solution at the cathode and supplying the alkaline stream and/or the hydrogen peroxide solution to the aqueous stream or environment. In other embodiments, an acidic stream or oxygen is produced and added to the aqueous stream or environment.
