Webinar: Nitrification: How it Happens and How to Manage it.
Nitrification quietly eats your disinfectant residual from the inside out, and most utilities don't see it until residuals crash, coliform samples come back positive, and Nitrite levels spike.
Join us for a practical, operator-focused webinar on Nitrification in Water Treatment: How It Starts, Why It Spreads, and What Actually Works to Stop It.
Recorded on: June 17, 2026, 1:00 PM EST
What you will learn:
-
What nitrification really is
-
Why it happens in chloraminated systems
-
Solutions that actually address it (not just chase it)
This is not a theory session. We will walk through the control playbook utilities use in real Nitrification Action Plans.
Who should attend
Operators, distribution supervisors, water quality managers, consulting engineers, and anyone running chloramine in secondary disinfection. If you have tanks that turn over slowly in summer, this is for you.
