Chemical Injection for Water Treatment

Direct mass flow measurement with Coriolis meters reduces cost to meet water quality requirements
Chemical Injection for Water Treatment

Control of high-cost additives optimizes chemical usage

Water treatment facilities require multiple steps to receive, disinfect, and ultimately convert raw water to a final product. The treatment process starts with chemicals being applied to raw water as a clumping agent to pull dirt and particulates into filters. Later in the process there are additional dosing applications including chemicals such as pre- and post-caustic, polymer, and polyphosphate, and gases such as chlorine and ammonia. These additives can be expensive and/or highly corrosive, so having precise measurement and control of quantity and quality throughout the process is critical. Too much additive can be costly, but too little introduces the risk of inaccurate dosing or undesired reaction, causing issues throughout the remaining water treatment cycle. The highly accurate and direct mass flow and density measurements provided by Micro Motion ELITE™ Coriolis Flow Meters ensure chemical dosing is paced accurately to the raw water even when flow rate is constantly changing.
