ammonia removal is the reduction of ammonium by ion exchange, biological nitrification, ammonia removal or a combined process matched to the pH and composition of the water.

What does ammonia removal mean in practice?

The ammonium ion can be exchanged on selected zeolites or ion exchangers and biologically oxidized in a stable nitrification process.

When does it matter?

High pH increases the share of toxic ammonia NH3, and chlorination of water with ammonium changes the demand and creates chloramines.

Which solutions are related to it?

The selection requires determining ammonium, pH, temperature, iron and manganese and determining the method of regeneration or biology.
