A bromine disinfection technology currently utilized in Japan for Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) disinfection was piloted by the City of Akron, Ohio. Bromochlorodimethylhydantoin (BCDMH) is a biocide in powdered form that, when dissolved in water, hydrolyzes to hypobromous acid, hypochlorous acid (the active biocides) and Dimethylhydantoin. This unique combination in active biocides can yield ...
