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 chemical metering pumps for water treatment

The water treatment process involve the dosing of chemicals in order to separate solids, break down contaminants and for disinfection, and in the final stages to adjust the pH levels of the water before being discharged into the mains. We offer a range of dosing chemical pumps for water treatment that are designed to do exactly this.

Our water treatment dosing pumps are designed to provide a smooth, pulsation free flow for the highly accurate metering of chemicals, flocculants and coagulants at controlled intervals. The shear sensitive nature of such flocculants mean that a metering pump for water treatment plants often needs to apply little shear to keep the chemical intact.

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.
