A process for optimizing the rate of oxidation using a combination of halogen, e.g. chlorine donors and peroxygen, e.g. potassium monopersulfate. The peroxygen compound elevates the oxidation-reduction potential of the body of water being treated. Simultaneously, a halogen donor is added to the body of water to maintain a PPM level of free halogen sufficient to insure sanitization. The feed rates and concentrations of both oxidizers are optimized so as to achieve and maintain the targeted parameters. A high level of oxidation is maintained which removes by-products from the water and surrounding air.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A process for removing volatile halogenated compounds including chloramines and/or bromamines from the air and treating a body of water in an indoor aquatic facility comprising:disposing an oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensor in fluid communication with a body of water within said facility;continuously monitoring the ORP of said body of water;comparing the monitored ORP to a set-point value calculated to be within a range effective to permit oxidation of said volatile halogenated compounds, wherein the effective range of ORP is from 750 mv-850 mv;adding a halogen donor source in an amount and at a rate sufficient to realize an optimum free halogen level sufficient to sanitize said body of water;adding a peroxygen compound at a rate and in an amount sufficient to maintain the ORP within said effective range;optimizing the ratio of halogen donor source to peroxygen compound to sustain the optimum free halogen level while maintaining the effective ORP value;maintaining a sustained high rate of oxidation in said body of water sufficient to cause the volatile halogenated compounds in the air to be reabsorbed therein; andoxidizing the reabsorbed compounds.
