Chlorine Dosing Pumps for Drinking Water Treatment

Drinking Water Treatment

Drinking Water Treatment: A Global Issue

An estimated 2.6 billion people lack adequate access to safe drinking water. The production of drinking water for small communities that do not wish to use chlorine gas, for rural areas, or for water supply in emergency situations requires reliable equipment adapted to sometimes extreme conditions. These facilities must meet current health standards and ensure stability of service to the population.

A Well-mastered Dosing System Technology

Installed directly on the water supply line, the Dosatron Chlorine Dosing Pump works with the water in your network as the only source of energy.

  • The pressure and flow of water drives the engine piston, which is itself connected to a metering piston.
  • Chlorine or other disinfection chemicals are proportionally dosed and continuously injected with water.

The dose of concentrated product is directly proportional to the volume of water flowing through the chemical dosing pump, regardless of variations in the flow rate and pressure.

Self-priming up to 4 meters, Dosatron Injection Pumps guarantee the coherence of the dilution and allow direct reading and easy adjustment of the dosage value.

In these cases, our metering pump allows water disinfection (bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal) with residual protection against potential low levels of post-treatment contamination.

Advantages of a Dosatron Chlorine Dosing Pump

Why Using a Certified Chlorine Dosing Pump is Important?

To make safe drinking water, the Dosatron ACS or NSF certified metering pumps, installed in line with the water pipe, inject a dose of chlorine (NaClo, CaClo) which allows the destruction of organic matter such as viruses and microbes contained in the water, in proportion to the flow rate. Since a large part of the chlorine is needed to neutralize these organic materials, the dose of chlorine delivered by the metering pump will allow a part, called free residual chlorine, to remain available to treat possible future infection of the water in the network or in the homes. This free chlorine allows for the persistence of the sanitizing capacity. According to the WHO, in drinking water, the free chlorine concentration of the treated water should be 0.2 to 0.5 mg/l.
