Provided herein are methods and compositions for reducing the level of a cyanotoxin in cyanotoxin contaminated-water. The electrolytic destruction methods can include contacting the contaminated water with an electrochemical cell in the presence of a magnesium salt and applying an electrical current to the water for a time and in an amount sufficient to oxidize the cyanotoxin. The methods are useful for treatment of lake water, reservoir water, pond water, river water, or irrigation water and any water that serves as a source of drinking water.

REDUCTION OF DISINFECTION BYPRODUCT FORMATION IN DRINKING WATER
Provided herein are methods of reducing microbial concentrations in water with a peracid disinfectant. The method can include the steps of measuring the quality of the water in real-time and dosing the water with a first dose of a peracid disinfectant; measuring the peracid disinfectant demand; and adding one or more subsequent doses of the peracid disinfectant. The subsequent peracid disinfectant dose can be controlled by a processor-based controller based on peracid disinfectant demand.
Provided herein are methods and compositions for treatment of a subterranean wellbore that has become clogged with sludge deposits comprising a synthetic polymer and an oil tar.

The present invention relates to a method for treating wastewater comprising adding a peracid to such wastewater after such wastewater has undergone a filtration step, characterized in that said peracid is added to said wastewater at a first peracid addition point; as well as at one or more subsequent peracid addition point(s) placed at sequential location(s) in a contact chamber. It has been unexpectedly found that such sequential addition is more effective than adding such peracid at a single location.
Disclosed is a method for improving decontamination in meat, poultry, fish, fruit and vegetable processing using a combination of acid(s) and peroxy compound(s).
