Chemical Dosing Systems are used in water treatment applications that require the mixing, storage, and precise dosing of chemical reagents. Dosing the correct chemical at the optimum rate is important to acquire effective operation and achieve optimal long-term application performance.

  • Citric Acid: The most common method of pH treatment. Chemical dosing utilizing citric acid.
  • Chlorine: The most common method of water disinfection. Great for potable water disinfection. Chemical injection utilizes calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite.
  • De-chlorination: The most common method of de-chlorination. Chemical dosing utilizing sodium bisulfite.
  • Peracetic Acid: PAA is an excellent sanitizer and disinfectant in industrial water and wastewater treatment. PAA can be injected using diaphragm or peristaltic chemical pumps. Peracetic acid is an effective and safe alternative to chlorine. It is an oxidizing biocide that degrades relatively quickly into non-toxic by-products. PAA has no risk of forming THMs (trihalomethanes) due to the absence of halogens (chlorine or bromine). In addition to having environmental advantages and ease of implementation, PAA has a small dependence on pH, short contact time, and effectiveness for primary and secondary effluents.

Various materials and different types of chemical feed pumps can be used as part of chemical feed systems. Water treatment, for example, brings its own challenges and requirements, such as the need for a high flow rate, non-corrosive materials to handle aggressive chemicals, and low maintenance. Selecting the right metering pump size for your application is also critical. A chemical dosing pump calculation to determine the proper size requires the chemical injection (flow in GPM, dosage, and solution strength), strokes per minute (SPM) and pump rated output (in GPD or gallons per day).
