11. A method of on-site generating performic acid forming composition comprising:
providing a formic acid source to a length of pipe at a desired flow rate;
providing an oxidizing agent to said length of pipe at a desired flow rate;
contacting said formic acid source with an effective amount of said oxidizing agent within said length of pipe in the presence of a heating device to form a performic acid composition;
delivering said performic acid composition to a downstream storage reservoir, wherein said performic acid is an individual or mixed performic acid composition according to a user- or system-inputted selection,
wherein the reaction to form the performic acid composition begins generating yield instantaneously and reaches maximum yield within 10 minutes or less.
