Abstract:
1. An adjustable biocide formulator or generator system for on-site peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition generation comprising: an apparatus comprising at least one reaction vessel, a series of feed pumps, an outlet for dosing a peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition from said reaction vessel, and a control software; wherein said feed pumps are in fluid connection with said reaction vessel and supply reagents to produce said peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition in said reaction vessel; wherein said reagents comprise an ester of a polyhydric alcohol and a C1 to C18 carboxylic acid, a source of alkalinity and an oxidizing agent mixed in the apparatus at an alkaline pH above at least 12; wherein said reaction vessel is in fluid connection with said outlet to dispense said peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition; wherein said peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition is diluted with an acid or aqueous acidic solution to form a peroxycarboxylic acid; wherein said peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition is an individual or mixed peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition according to a user- or system-inputted selection; and wherein said user—or system-inputted selection is controlled by said control software for said on-site generation of said peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition, and wherein said user—or system-inputted selection is an individual or mixed peroxycarboxylic acid forming composition and corresponding volume or mass for said on-site generation.
