The antimicrobial performance of OXYSTRONG^® 15 has been established against a wide range of microorganisms considered to be the most relevant to sewage and effluent under both laboratory and operational conditions.

Sewage is disinfected to remove pathogenic species that would be harmful to the population. OXYSTRONG^® 15 is a rapidly acting oxidising biocide and as such offers our customers an alternative to traditional disinfectants such as UV and hypochlorite treatments.

OXYSTRONG^® 15 is a range of peracetic acid based disinfectants formulated for the control of harmful microorganisms in raw sewage and sewage effluent. It is an equilibrium mixture of peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid and water. In surface water peracetic acid will be hydrolysed. The degradation products formed by hydrolysis are acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide, both of which are easily biodegradable substances.

Solvay has case histories for the application and use of OXYSTRONG^® 15 for the disinfection of raw sewage, process waters and secondary effluent on request. SOLVAY also has a database on sewage and effluent treatment that lists published papers, the index to which is also available on request.
