understand the difference between oxidising and non-oxidising biocides.
learn that the oxidixing biocides are nowadays very common in paper machine microbe control.
learn that hypochlorite is the most common oxidising biocide. In several applications its efficacy can be improved by use of a stabiliser. Performic acid is a new and environmentally sound option.
