Abstract
A composition and method for treating industrial water is described, wherein the composition has microbe inhibiting properties. The composition utilizes a cationic phase transfer agent, such as a quaternary ammonium compound in the presence of a peroxide source. The composition does not significantly reduce the anti-scaling properties of anionic dispersants present in the water.
