Nitrification is a microbiological process by which ammonia is sequentially oxidized to nitrite and nitrate. In chloraminated systems, nitrification has the adverse impacts of reducing chloramine residual and promoting bacterial regrowth. The objective of this study was to document nitrification occurring in chloraminated systems, identify potential causative factors and indicators of nitrification to better understand and control the problem. The results reported here were collected as part of AWWA Research Foundation project "Occurrence of Nitrification in Chloraminated Water Systems."
