Abstract
The present invention provides a method and composition for controlling the growth of microorganisms in aqueous systems, such as industrial process waters. The method includes the steps of adding a synergistically effective amount of a biocide, 2-bromo-2-nitrostyrene ("BNS"), and an oxidant, peracetic acid, to industrial process waters to control microorganism growth. The composition of the present invention comprises a synergistically effective amount of a biocide, 2-bromo-2-nitrostyrene, and an oxidant, peracetic acid, to control microorganism growth. The method and composition of the present invention are particularly effective in the treatment of pulp and paper water processing systems.
