What pumps are used in water treatment plants?

Water treatment plants use pumps for the transfer of the wastewater itself from container to container, for the dosing of chemicals involved in flocculation, coagulation and ph adjustment and the pumping of sludge removed. Popular pump types are peristaltic and progressive cavity pumps.

What is a chemical dosing pump?

A chemical dosing pump, otherwise known as a chemical metering pump, is designed to very precisely deliver a specific quantity of a chemical to a container, tank or fluid stream at controlled intervals. They are particularly popular in the water treatment industry.

What types of pumps are used for chemical dosing?

Thanks to their accuracy at low flow rates, peristaltic pumps, diaphragm pumps and lobe pumps are most commonly used in chemical dosing systems.

Highly accurate coagulant and flocculant dosing pumps

The water treatment process involves the dosing of chemicals in order to separate solids and remove contaminants. Coagulation dosing pumps are used for the chemical process of grouping together the solid contaminants within the wastewater, flocculants are then metered into the water to make the now grouped particles to sink to the bottom of the water for separation.

We offer a range of coagulant and flocculant pumps for the precise metering of aluminium sulfate, ferric chloride, sodium hypochlorite and potassium hydroxide amongst others. The coagulant and flocculant metering pumps that we specify are categorised by their smooth, pulsation free pumping for accurate dosing even at low flow rates.

FAQs

Our range of chemical pumps for water treatment plants are compatible for the transfer and dosing of most coagulants and flocculants including aluminium sulfate, ferric chloride, sodium hypochlorite, potassium hydroxide.
