Chlorine & Chloramines Reduction

Trojan Technologies™ pioneered the technology of chloramine reduction utilizing UV light in the pre-membrane filtration or RO make-up water stream.

UV Technology for Monochloramine in Water

Ultraviolet (UV) technology is a highly effective method of reducing chloramines in water. UV is a versatile, reliable approach to address numerous requirements in industrial water applications, including chloramine reduction. Studies have demonstrated conclusively that free chlorine residuals or chloramine residuals up to 2.0 ppm can be successfully reduced by the application of UV light.

Reducing Chlorine & Chloramines in Industrial Water

While the addition of chloramine to municipal water may help control microorganism levels, it has undesirable effects, including generating by-products and causing changes in water chemistry.


Typical chlorine and chloramines treatment methods include carbon beds or chemical injections. However, carbon beds are excellent breeding grounds for bacteria to thrive and proliferate, and the addition of chemicals such as metabisulfite involve removing one chemical with another and isn't always a viable or desirable solution.

Issues Caused by Monochloramine in Water

  • Chloramines have corrosive properties that can damage metal pipes.
  • Exposure to chloramines will degrade rubber over time. O-rings, gaskets, and seals will all be broken down by the chloramines.
  • Chloramines still leave water with an undesirable metallic or chemical tang. From brewing beer to brewing coffee, chloramines will offset the flavor profile of any beverage into which it is introduced.
