本文所述项目的目标是为水务公司制定一份关于氯胺在水处理中的使用及其在整体水质改善中所起作用的氯胺化手册。该手册以实际为导向，为各种公用事业员工提供有用的信息，包括工程师、操作员和与公众打交道的人员。项目方法包括收集和总结有关氯胺的文献中的可用信息，在全国范围内对氯胺的使用情况进行调查，并记录实际应用的案例。 利用这些信息，确定了氯胺化过程控制的关键参数，并提出了氯胺化优化策略。本文所述的研究并未具体包括项目人员进行的实验室或现场试验；然而，研究人员从实验室的全方位演示中汲取了大量经验。它开发了一个优化策略，描述了与化学品选择、化学品进料和过程控制相关的实用方法，并解决了水质监测、公共通知、操作员培训、设施启动和处理调整等问题。

The objective of the project described in this paper was to develop a Chloramination Manual for water utilities on the use of chloramines in water treatment and the role they play in overall water quality improvement. The Manual was to be practically oriented, providing useful information to a variety of utility staff including, engineers, operators, and those who deal with the public. The project approach included gathering and summarizing available information from the literature on chloramines, conducting a nationwide survey on their use i water utilities, and documenting case histories on practical applications. Using that information, critical parameters for the control of the chloramination process were identified and a chloramination optimization strategy was put forth. The study described in this paper did not specifically include laboratory or field tests by the project staff; however, the Manual does draw upon dozens of laboratory, pilot, demonstration, and full scale experiences from researchers and utilities. It develops an optimization strategy describing practical approaches related to chemical selection, chemical feed, and process control and addresses water quality monitoring, public notification, operator training, facility startup, and treatment adjustments.
