Ammonia (NH₃) – Measurement with Milwaukee Testing Devices

Monitoring ammonia (NH₃) is critical in various applications, including water quality management, aquaculture, agriculture, and industry. Milwaukee testing solutions provide an easy, reliable, and cost-effective way to measure ammonia accurately and efficiently – whether in the lab or in the field.

Why monitor ammonia?

Ammonia is produced through biological degradation processes, livestock waste, and as a byproduct in industrial systems. In water, it exists in equilibrium with ammonium (NH₄⁺), with the toxic free ammonia (NH₃) form increasing at higher pH levels – making pH and temperature crucial for accurate assessment.

Typical applications:

• Aquariums & Fish Farming: Even low levels of NH₃ can be harmful to aquatic life – continuous monitoring is essential.
• Drinking & Wastewater Testing: Ammonia serves as an indicator of contamination or imbalances in the nitrogen cycle.
• Agriculture: Monitoring ammonia emissions from livestock buildings or manure storage helps meet regulatory and environmental standards.
• Industrial Use: Cooling systems and chemical processes often require ammonia surveillance for safety and system control.
