Compositions and methods for inhibiting the formation of chloramines and trihalomethanes in aqueous media

摘要

Compositions and methods are disclosed for sanitizing aqueous media, which combine a chlorine-source composition and a glycoluril- source composition. The compositions are added together or separately, continuously or periodically, and by any of a variety of methods. The glycoluril compound stabilizes the chlorine and prolongs its useful life as a microbicidal agent while additionally reducing the formation of chloramines, trihalomethanes and odors.
