Description
Monochloramine ($NH_2Cl$) is widely used as a secondary disinfectant in municipal drinking water distribution systems and industrial cooling water loops. Formed by reacting ammonia with free chlorine at controlled stoichiometric ratios, chloramine provides long-lasting residual disinfection while significantly reducing the formation of regulated disinfection by-products (DBPs), such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs).
Disinfection Residual Tracking & Nitrification Prevention
Accurate quantification of monochloramine residual is essential to prevent biofilm regrowth in water networks and prevent biological nitrification caused by excess unreacted free ammonia. Real-time optical testing ensures precise disinfectant dosing across distribution pipelines.
Fast On-Site Spectroscopy vs. Laboratory Delays
The OndaVia Monochloramine Analysis Kit (Analyte Code: B040) replaces colorimetric DPD test kits and slow chemical titrations with a factory pre-calibrated optical Raman measurement in under 5 minutes.
