A new, ammonium bromide-based biocide can control microbial populations and minimize the adverse side effects associated with strong oxidizing biocides

For a number of years, strong oxidizers have been used to control microbial populations in the papermaking industry. Maintaining an effective level of oxidizer is not always easy or economically viable because paper process streams exhibit a high and variable "demand" on the oxidizer. This demand is caused by the presence of organic ma...
