A system and method for the delivery and application of a biocide treatment to a facility. A specially adapted vehicle is used to transport biocide precursors, and a generator capable of generating biocide from those precursors, to the site of the facility to be treated. Incompatible precursors are isolated from each other in separate compartments in the vehicle. At the site, the generator is communicated with a fluid flow path passing through the facility to be treated. While biocide is being generated in the generator from the precursors, a carrier liquid is simultaneously circulated through the fluid flow path, including the generator, so that biocide from the generator is introduced to the carrier liquid and thereby carried from the generator through the facility to treat it. When treatment is complete, the operation of the generator and the circulation of the carrier liquid are stopped, the generator is disconnected from the facility, and the generator and precursors are transported away from the facility site in the vehicle.

A method of biocidal treatment of a facility comprising the steps of: providing a chlorine dioxide generator at a land site of a facility to be treated; transporting biocide precursors overland to the site in a vehicle, each such precursor being isolated from incompatible ones of the other precursors; communicating the generator with a fluid flow path passing through the facility to be treated; simultaneously generating a biocide in the generator from the precursors while circulating a carrier liquid through the fluid flow path and the generator, introducing the biocide from the generator to the carrier liquid and thereby carrying the biocide through the facility to treat the facility; then isolating the precursors from the generator and continuing to circulate the carrier liquid through the fluid flow path, including the generator, to flush the generator into the facility; stopping the operation of the generator; and evacuating the precursors from the facility site.
