This slide presentation outlines a study on the fate of ammonia in groundwater treatment. Aspects of the study included: ammonia was recently found in
groundwater wells;
Research and Technical Practices
Committee conducted a study from Sept.
27, 2003-February 4, 2004;
123 groundwater systems sampled for
ammonia-N (187 wells); and,
118 samples of 187 were 0.15 mg/L NH3-
N or greater. Ammonia's reaction with chlorine is outlined, along with the practice of nitrification, the process by which
bacteria can utilize ammonia and nitrite as
electron donors, sampling, types of treatment, and results for ammonia, nitrate/nitrite. Observations include:
all plants sampled have some ammonia in
their groundwater;
one plant is utilizing natural ammonia to
form chloramines; and,
all plants sampled are experiencing
formation of nitrate in the treatment
process. Includes tables, figures.
