Abstract Oxidizing biocides, as their name implies, make use of their oxidizing ability to control microorganisms and prevent the deposition of corrosion causing microbiological deposits. This oxidizing ability can also promote corrosion in systems if the oxidizing biocide is accidently overfed or if an incompatible corrosion inhibitor system is used. Proper control of feed rates of oxidizing biocides is necessary not only from a corrosion prevention standpoint, but an economical one as well. The use of oxidation reduction potential to control oxidizing biocide feed systems is explored in this work and shown to be an effective means of control.
