In a method and apparatus for diluting a reaction product, particularly a peracid for sanitizing purposes, reactants from an inlet 75 are reacted in a reaction vessel 3 provided with means 13 for impeding their ingress to minimise turbulence as they mix with the body of liquid within the reactor. An outlet 11 is positioned remote from the impeding means to remove liquid generally having the longest residence time in the chamber. Dilution of the reaction product is controlled in accordance with the output of amperometric electrochemical sensor(s) 131 - 141. Preferably, the reaction product is a peracid especially performic and the sensor has a gold working electrode at around zero volts.
