Abstract
A method of controlling a volatile fatty acid in an aqueous industrial system is provided in the present disclosure. The method includes determining a level of dissolved oxygen in process water in the aqueous industrial system and adding an effective amount of a control agent to the process water if the determined level of dissolved oxygen is above a predetermined level. The compositions and methods can lower the amount of VFA present in the aqueous industrial system.
