Wahman, D. Investigation of Chloramines, Disinfection Byproducts, and Nitrification in Chloraminated Drinking Water Distribution Systems. Presented at 2023 FSTRAC Spring Webinar, Cincinnati, OH, April 20, 2023.
Impact/Purpose:
This presentation summarizes a study that evaluated the residual disinfectant and resulting water quality in four drinking water distribution systems over the course of one year. Sampling events were conducting in four representative locations in each system and water quality, regulated DBPs, and significance of nitrification and organic chloramines were assessed. The results showed organic chloramines are more persistent than monochloramine. This has important implications on the management of chloramines and the operation of water distribution systems. This research will be of high interest to water utilities and practitioners in the field of drinking water.
