Environmentally compatible Proxitane® WW-12 Peracetic Acid (PAA) microbiocide from Solvay Chemicals is used for biological control in municipal wastewaters.

Environmentally compatible Proxitane® WW-12 Peracetic Acid (PAA) microbiocide from Solvay Chemicals is used for biological control in municipal wastewaters. This EPA-registered wastewater disinfectant is an alternative to halogenated disinfectants such as chlorine-based chemicals, and can have an immediate positive synergistic effect on an existing UV disinfection system by simply adding it into the wastewater. Compared to dosage requirements for industrial grade NaOCl, the product is applied at a similar rate, does not require a dechlorination step, nor does it form chlorinated byproducts.
