The disinfection and water conditioning applications of chemical feed pumps
For many years chemical feed pumps have been used primarily for disinfection of
potable water systems. The addition of a small amount of chlorine for constant
disinfection of drinking water has probably saved more lives around the world
than many other scientific discoveries.
Disinfection is just one of the
many applications particularly suited to the use of a chemical feed pump.
Tremendous benefits can be realized when chemical feed pumps are properly
applied.
Besides disinfection, municipal water treatment plants use
chemical feed pumps in many of their other processes to provide high-quality
drinking water. In addition, feed pumps are used in the wastewater treatment
process so that the water can be returned safely to the environment.
Did you know that chemical feed pumps can improve the performance of
your water conditioning systems? A chemical feed pump often is overlooked as a
way to treat problem water and to improve the overall system
operation.
As examples, chemical feed can correct or help correct high
amounts of ferrous iron (Fe+2), manganese (Mn+2), and,
most notably, hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Correction of these conditions
can prevent other treatment equipment from becoming fouled by these
contaminants.
The removal of one of these, hydrogen sulfide, has received
the greatest benefit from the use of chemical feed pumps.
