Ammonia No. 2 Powder Pillows

Overview

Ammonia No. 2 powder pillows measure ammonia, which drives chlorine demand in a potable system, feeds nitrification in a distribution main and carries a tight consent in effluent. Where ammonia is present, chlorine forms chloramines instead of a free residual.

Key features

• Explains chlorine demand and chloramine formation as well as effluent compliance
• Pre-measured sachets, so nothing has to be weighed out on the bench
• Sealed individually, which keeps the reagent dry and the dose consistent
• Supplied in packs of 50 and 100 powder pillows, each with its own item code

Frequently asked questions

How does ammonia affect chlorination?
Chlorine reacts with ammonia to form chloramines before any free residual appears, so until breakpoint is passed the residual you measure is combined rather than free.

Why use powder pillows instead of tablets?
A pillow is a pre-measured dose in a sealed sachet, so there is nothing to weigh out and no part-used tablet strip. Where a method is only offered in powder form, the pillow is what the instrument expects.

How should powder pillows be stored?
Keep them cool and dry in their sealed sachets, work through the oldest box first, and open a pillow only at the moment you dose the sample.
