Whether you are considering conversion to chloramine for disinfection byproduct control, or have long experience with chloramine, and/or you are having problems with distribution system quality overall -- nitrification, lead/copper or iron corrosion, chlorine loss, or coliform occurrences--you will benefit from working with Jan Routt to define and remedy problems or to plan to prevent them.       

With  understanding of microbes and corrosion processes and knowledge of distribution system hydraulics and monitoring needs,  she helps systems develop and maintain disinfection, corrosion  and biofilm (nitrification and coliform) control programs that are complianant with regulation and cost effective, while meeting high quality expectations of water consumers--no taste & odor, discoloration or violation notices please!  

Key Chloramine,  disinfection and  corrosion control experience, The presentation linked here  summarizes recent work involving chloramines, chlorine and nitrification control.

--- Routt has been involved first hand in chloramination and disinfection applications and optimization activities described here:
   

• The Chloramine Decision is your system a good candidate for chloramine; have other key options been investigated?
• Chloramine recommendations for startup planning and ongoing nitrification control in stand-alone and combined distribution system served by multiple treatment  plant and sources. Booster chlorination   application decisions, development and optimization.
• Coliform  prevention and remediation  -- review and remediation implementation  for systems experiencing system-wide coliform outbreak  and sporadic, site-limited coliform and HPC proliferations.      
• Disinfection and DBP control plans for small and large interconnected systems using multple sources, chloramines and/or free chlorine.   
• Corrosion control assessments and  optimization  for  ongoing  LCR compliance and iron corrosion control. Assessments and optimization of corrosion control treatments including corrosion inhibitor studies and application with various corrosion control schemes (pH/alkalinitiy and vaious orthophosphates).
• Disinfection byproduct formation potential studies to support disinfection and supply changes.   Distribution System Operations  Evaluations for water age, chlorine residual,  disinfection byproduct formation factors, biofilm or coliform/microbial factors.                                                
• Boosting chlorine and breakpoint chlorination of total systems and isolated areas for routine disinfection and problem remediation.                                                  
• Nitrification diagnosis and remediation -- detect, minimize or remediate nitification in distribution system piping and tanks using flushing, batch and breakpoint chlorination, along with system reconfigurations where appropriate. Here, a lab analyst demonstrates a simple field test used to detect nitrification.   
• Chlorine and Chloramine disinfection optimization and  disinfection byproduct and biofilm control (nitrification, coliforms heterotrophs).   
• Automated monitoring and control systems (setup, maintenance and data utilization) programs for treatment and distribution optimization to address supply and quality objectives.
