An aqueous composition comprising: (a) 4,5-dichloro-2-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one; (b) a tertiary amine comprising three C.sub.2-C.sub.6 hydroxyalkyl groups, wherein at least one of said hydroxyalkyl groups has a secondary hydroxyl group; (c) an oil selected from the group consisting of mineral oil, neutral oil, castor oil, and combinations thereof; (d) a paraffin wax; and (e) a nonionic surfactant having from 20 to 50 polymerized ethylene oxide units.

Contaminants are filtered from a fluid flow stream and the filter is regenerated by a process including steps of: providing a filter material comprising both carbon and potassium iodide; passing a contaminated fluid stream in contact with the filter material; adsorbing contaminants from the fluid stream onto surfaces in the filter material; passing an electric current through the filter material with adsorbed contaminant thereon; disassociating contaminant from the surfaces of the filter material; and removing disassociated contaminant from the filter material by carrying away the disassociated contaminant in a fluid flow mass.
