Fast-acting, EPA-registered PAA solution for efficient microbial reduction-cost-effective and retrofit-ready.

MODESTO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2025 / Enviro Tech, an Arxada company, announces the launch of Peragreen^® 26WW antimicrobial control solution, a high-strength peracetic acid (PAA)-based solution designed for use in medium and large municipal wastewater treatment systems. As cities face rising treatment technology costs, aging infrastructure, and expanded regulations, Peragreen^® 26WW antimicrobial control solution offers a cost-effective alternative to bleach, chlorine gas, and UV-based municipal wastewater treatment systems.

Peracetic acid is widely used in wastewater treatment for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and its ability to minimize halogenated disinfection byproducts. When applied as directed, Peragreen^® 26WW helps facilities meet Clean Water Act requirements through efficient, environmentally responsible disinfection. ¹

Smart, Cost-Effective Treatment

Peragreen^® 26WW antimicrobial control solution can help municipalities reduce chemical usage by 20-25% or more by eliminating the chlorination-dechlorination process, lowering microbial pollutant levels, and nitrification treatment costs. Unlike bleach or chlorine gas, Peragreen^® 26WW Antimicrobial Solution does not generate nitrites, residual chlorine, or regulated by-products like trichloromethane (TCHM) and chloroacetic acid (CAA), simplifying EPA discharge permit compliance and reducing monitoring requirements in many states.

In addition to its regulatory and operational advantages, Peragreen^® 26WW Antimicrobial Solution offers a cost-effective alternative to UV systems, requiring no major infrastructure upgrades-ideal for budget-conscious, medium- and large-scale facilities.

"Peragreen® 26WW antimicrobial control solution retrofits easily with chlorine systems and helps facilities reduce the capital costs typically associated with system upgrades. Unlike chlorine gas and bleach, it provides improved compatibility with pumps, pipes, and dosing equipment materials," said Kiran Kulkarni, associate marketing director at Enviro Tech, an Arxada Company. "With dependable U.S.-based manufacturing and long-term operational value, it's a smart upgrade for municipalities looking to modernize their microbial wastewater treatment systems while managing budgets, infrastructure, and regulatory demands."

Reliable Performance Across Variable Conditions*
Peragreen^® 26WW Antimicrobial Solution provides rapid microbial control across a wide pH range, reducing contact time and eliminating the need for chlorine residual removal in many wastewater treatment systems. It streamlines chemical management, reduces reliance on downstream neutralizers, and supports greater system uptime.

Key Features:

• Helps reduce reliance on dechlorination agents in many states and lowers chemical costs.

• Effective across wide pH ranges with broad-spectrum microbial control.

• Scalable for high-volume systems, supporting long-term planning and procurement efficiency.

• Biodegradable and aligned with evolving environmental standards.

• Helps municipalities stay ahead of regulatory demands.

Support and Availability
A dedicated municipal team and U.S.-based logistics ensure smooth implementation and reliable long-term supply-critical for utilities managing multi-year infrastructure strategies.
