[Killietalk] Re: Peat

Hello Wright,

    Thanks for the discussion on peat. One of your statements may cause 
confusion, however. Ammonia can not be removed from water by boiling. It might be 
driven out of the peat this way and into the water which you discarded, but I 
don't want anyone to get the idea of trying to get rid of ammonia or chloramine 
by boiling their tap water.
    When we make our distilled water for making chemical reagents and 
performing tests at the plant, we run it through an ion exchange unit after 
distillation to remove the ammonia.
