The precise dosing and feeding of chemicals and polymers play a pivotal role in ensuring effective treatment processes. The latest advancements in chemical- and polymer-feeding equipment are designed to meet these critical needs with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency. From peristaltic dosing pumps capable of handling gases without vapor lock to sophisticated polymer blending systems that ensure optimal flocculation, technologies like the ones below are at the forefront of the industry.
Blue-White Industries FLEXFLO M4
The low-shearing pumping action of FLEXFLO M4 peristaltic dosing pump from Blue-White Industries allows it to gently and precisely pump chemicals that off-gas, including peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite, with no vapor lock and no lost prime. Advanced features include a highly responsive and intuitive 5-inch display, firmware that can be field updated, and easy-to-attach M12 watertight connectors.

Force Flow Tote Bin Scale
The Tote Bin Scale from Force Flow allows plant operators to accurately monitor the amount of polymer being fed from IBC-type totes for dewatering. Simply place the tote on the platform and monitoring begins, as there is nothing to install inside the tote. Monitoring systems prevent costly overfeed conditions and enable the documentation of the actual amount fed, which keeps the plant in compliance with federal and state reporting requirements. Users can remotely monitor from SCADA or PLC. The unit is available with the SOLO G2 digital display or with the advanced Wizard 4000 chemical inventory management system.

Lutz-JESCO America LJ-PolyBlend Polymer System
The LJ-PolyBlend Polymer System from Lutz-JESCO America is a dependable, motorized mixing machine with a corrosion-resistant housing, large turbine and multizone mixing chamber that provides uniform dispersion energy at the moment of initial polymer wetting. The prime mixing zone fully activates the polymer, while the second mixing zone promotes gentle polymer activation via a small turbine, lessening molecule fracturing. Its stainless steel injection valve prevents agglomerations and reduces the need for extended mixing time. The system includes a clear mixing chamber that provides visual monitoring of mixing polymer feed. Its compact design — only 1 to 1.5 square feet — means it’s light and allows for easy installation and transportation. It has automatic pump speed adjustment via 4-20mA input, water flow sensor and priming port.

Park Process PolyCat
The PolyCat batch-type polymer blending and injection system from Park Process is used for the preparation of liquid polymer to aid in the flocculation of septic tank waste sludge in the dewatering process. The batch tank method allows for the time necessary to uncoil the long-chain polymer molecules, making them more effective in reacting with sludge solid particles. It is used in conjunction with standard solid separation devices, dewatering boxes, centrifuges, belt presses, filter presses and other equipment requiring flocculation to enable dewatering.

Pulsafeeder Pulsatron Series HV
The Pulsatron Series HV from Pulsafeeder is designed for high-viscosity applications for precise and accurate metering control. It offers manual control over stroke length and stroke rate, with the option to choose between 4-20mA and external pace inputs for automatic control. Models are available with pressure capabilities to 150 psi at 12 gpd, and flow capacities to 240 gpd at 80 psi, with a turndown ratio of 100-1. It comes with a reliable timing circuit, circuit protection against voltage and current upsets, panel-mounted fuse, solenoid protection by thermal overload with auto-reset, water resistance for outdoor and indoor applications, and guided ball check valve systems to reduce back flow and enhance priming characteristics.
