Application - Chloramines

Chloramine  

Ground Water

Free Chlorine is often replaced with chloramines as a secondary disinfectant due to its long lasting residuals and when trihalomethanes or other disinfection by-products are a problem. In chloramination disinfection, monochloramine is formed from the reaction of ammonia with chlorine. In general, ammonia is added first or simultaneously with the chlorine to reduce the formation of chlorinated organic compounds.

With analytical testing, you can:

  • Optimize chloramine formation
  • Meet chlorine residual requirements
  • Determine the best ammonia & chlorine feed pump rates
  • Reduce the risk of nitrification events
