Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for controlling microbiological activity. A method for controlling microbiological activity in a coating slurry and/or a component thereof may include adding a stabilizer, a chlorine source, and water to a reactor, mixing the stabilizer, the chlorine source, and the water in the reactor to form a stabilized chlorine composition, measuring a first pH of the coating slurry and/or the component thereof with a pH sensor and/or measuring a first oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the coating slurry and/or the component thereof with an ORP sensor, adding the stabilized chlorine composition to the coating slurry and/or the component thereof via a delivery conduit, and adding additional stabilized chlorine composition to the coating slurry and/or the component thereof via the delivery conduit if the measured first pH and/or first ORP decreases.

Abstract: Disclosed and claimed is a method of removing contaminants from a process stream or stabilizing a system parameter in the process stream. The method includes providing a filtration system in communication with a controller, wherein the controller is operable to automatically initiate a flow from the process stream into the filtration system when the system parameter of the process stream is within above an upper threshold value and/or below a lower threshold value; and activating the filtration system, wherein the flow comprises a flow rate through the filtration system and the controller is operable to adjust the flow rate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition and method for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in industrial water systems. Methods employing the composition comprising halogen-based hydantoin or hydantoin-stabilized halogen in combination with peracetic acid demonstrate synergistic control of microbial growth, particularly control of slime deposition.
