Are you referring to adding biocide before the membrane or to the permeate after the membrane? Before the membrane use chloramine (never free chlorine) at probably a couple of mg/l. Peracetic acid is also a possibility. Post RO you can use almost anything, since the water will be very low in TOC and is should be already free of pathogens assuming the membrane and seals are in tact.

Thanks for your answer Joseph. Yes I am refering before membrane. Is paracetic acid good at bacteria control? Will that influence in the pH (with the consequent pH control after)?
