Abstract

![CDATA[Chloramine is used as a secondary disinfectant in water distributions system (WDS). However, nitrification is a major concern involved in the chloraminated WDS as it leads to the accelerated decay of chloramines. After the onset of nitrification, breakpoint chlorination followed by rechlorination is generally practiced in WDS to reinstate chloramine residuals in the WDS. In this study, two different control strategies re-chlorination and breakpoint chlorination followed rechloramination were applied on the severely nitrified water collected from the laboratory-scale reactor system. Results showed that breakpoint chlorination followed by rechloramination is highly stable as the chloramine residual was maintained up to 300 hours and is highly effective than rechlorination alone as it could maintain residue only up to 50 hours even with repeated re-dosing.]]
