This test method is a colorimetric procedure used to determine ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) in water and wastewater samples, with a pre-analysis distillation of the test sample. The method uses the automated phenate reaction, in which ammonia reacts with phenol and hypochlorite under alkaline conditions to form a blue-colored indophenol complex. The intensity of this color… Continue reading Ammonia as N Low Range with Distillation

This test method is based on Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater and is used to determine alkalinity in water samples. Alkalinity measures the water’s capacity to neutralize acids. A measured volume of water sample is placed in a beaker. The sample is titrated with a standardized sulfuric or hydrochloric acid solution… Continue reading Alkalinity
