Has anyone seen or had an instance where liquid hypochlorite and aqua ammonia are used to form chloramines?

I've only used (or even seen) gas chlorine used with ammonia to form the chloramines (due to a high THM potential).

Thanks

Once the Chlorine is in the water it converts to hypochlorus acid and hypochlorite (according to pH) no mater if it was gas or bleach to start with.
