SANKILL monochloramine generator is a complete patented system (US Pat# 8,444,860) for the production and addition of monochloramine for disinfection and control of the colonization of waterborne pathogens in domestic water plumbing systems.
This system has been specifically designed to produce and control monochloramine at a concentration of 2 – 4 ppm in domestic water. It takes into account disinfectant decay due to thermal decomposition reactions and dissolved oxidizable species. Performing disinfection with monochloramine on hot/cold water can lead to the accumulation of by products (namely ammonium ions) during periods of low to no water consumption (e.g. overnight).
One of the key advantages of monochloramine in water treatment is its sustained disinfection effect. Unlike chlorine, which tends to dissipate more quickly, monochloramine forms a more stable residual disinfectant in water. This residual disinfection is essential for ensuring that the water remains free from harmful microorganisms as it travels through distribution systems to reach consumers.
Monochloramine is particularly effective in controlling the growth of biofilms in water distribution pipes. Biofilms, composed of microorganisms and their extracellular products, can develop on the inner surfaces of pipes and pose a threat to water quality. Monochloramine’s ability to penetrate and disrupt biofilms makes it a valuable tool in maintaining clean and safe water infrastructure.
Furthermore, monochloramine minimizes the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which can arise when chlorine reacts with organic matter in water. DBPs, such as trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids, have been associated with potential health risks. The use of monochloramine helps mitigate these concerns, promoting a balance between effective disinfection and the reduction of harmful byproducts.
