<p>The present invention consists of a process of producing a disinfecting BZ reaction comprising adding, continuously to a fluid in a continuously flowing system, halogens or halogen containing compounds to create two bistable systems at equilibrium. The first bistable system consists of HOCl, OCl-, and chloramines in the fluid and the second bistable system consists of IO¿3?, I2 and HIO in the fluid. The bistable systems when perturbed by a reductant consisting of microbial life forms or their metabolic by products will initiate an oscillating reaction certain of whose intermediate products are microbicidal.</p> |
