This is the second of three articles to help water system operators understand ammonia and how to monitor and control its effects at the plant and in the distribution system. The first article (Opflow, April 2012) provided an overview of ammonia's chemistry, origins, and water system effects. This article focuses on treatment options for removing ammonia from source water prior to distribution and how to monitor and control ammonia. Next month's article will provide case studies explaining how utilities have dealt with ammonia.
