Summertime reasons for ammonia monitoring
June 12, 2009
Ammonia content is one of the parameters often used to
measure effluent quality in wastewater systems, since it helps measure the success of the treatment process for the
nitrogen cycle. But ammonia can also play a role in
clean-water systems as well -- specifically, in places where
chloramines are used for disinfection. During the warmer summer months, systems that use chloramines to provide disinfection need to monitor their ammonia levels closely due to the hazard of
thermal layers which can cause chloramines to break down. The new technology inside the
automatic ammonia monitor from ATI can help improve the quality of ammonia measurement while keeping operator intervention to a minimum. If you have questions about these new
ammonia monitors, we invite you to
