Which Options are Right for You?
Chlorination is a multifaceted process that involves a variety of factors, and every facility and operation is different. Whatever your needs, Hach is ready to help with information, technology, and support.
While chloramination provides some benefits over chlorination regarding the formation of fewer disinfection byproducts (DBPs) – particularly trihalomethanes (THM) that exhibit carcinogenic properties – it requires thorough monitoring to maintain control and ensure optimal results. Successful chloramination is based upon monochloramine formation from free chlorine and ammonium and this process requires strict control to prevent unintended consequences such as nitrification in the water network. In order to achieve the necessary control and better optimization of water treatment processes, operators must carefully monitor formation of monochloramine as the target disinfectant.

To ensure successful chloramination, it is also important to measure raw materials such as hypochlorite and aqua ammonia, which are unstable and may decrease in concentration during transportation and storage. It is also necessary to measure interferences such as iron and manganese to ensure the success of the disinfection processes.
