Dosing Pumps And Their Working In Industrial Applications

A dosing pump is designed to inject chemicals into steam, gas or water. Dosing pumps are small in size but still provide a precise flow rate for high control. They are the main part of the integrated dosing system, which is designed to inject chemicals or other substances automatically. This dosing technique is applied to a wide range of industrial applications, from food processing to wastewater treatment. To inject the proper amount of the chemical or any other substance into the water or steam, you can buy the dosing pump from the chemical pump suppliers in the UAE. 

 Example Of Dosing Pump Usage 

In addition to food industries and water treatment, dosing pumps are used in agriculture, industrial practices, medical laboratories, manufacturing facilities and mining operations. A chemical feed pump can be used to add the chemical to a water storage tank for neutralising the pH level. They can also be used as a chlorine pump to kill bacteria. A chemical dosing pump is designed so that it can be used in challenging situations such as high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

Working Of Dosing Pumps

The dosing pump draws the quantified quantity of liquid into the chamber and injects the chemical into a pipe or tank that contains the fluid that is being dosed. It is powered by an actuator or electric motor and has a controller that turns the pump on and off and also helps to manage the flow more precisely when you choose the correct dosing pump from the dosing pump suppliers in Dubai. Some of the models include more sophisticated control systems.

Major Types Of Dosing Pumps

Metering Pump

These pumps use a stepper motor to drive the plunger. This mechanism gives accurate flow rate control. Metering pumps are basically used for low- to medium-flow dosing. Common applications include mainly 3 use cases:

  • Boiler water treatment 
  • Cooling tower chemical dosing 
  • Reverse osmosis 

To know more about the application of these pumps, you can engage with metering pump suppliers in the UAE who can best guide you on their applications and also guide you on how these pumps integrate with the automation systems. 

Hydraulically Operated Pumps

Hydraulic cylinders are used in these pumps for displacing the liquid. These combine the accuracy of plunger pumps with leak-free operation. Hydraulic fluid ensures uniform motion and extends service life. 

Applications include:

Acid dosing

Polymer injection

Refinery processes

Power plant chemical treatment

Peristaltic Dosing Pump

These pumps use rotating rollers that help to compress the flexible tube, pushing the liquid through and preventing backflow. These pumps are self-priming and are used to handle slurries, chemically aggressive liquids and outgassing liquids. The tube isolates the liquid from mechanical components and produces contamination-free operations. To choose the best peristaltic dosing pumps, engage with the expert team that supplies peristaltic dosing pumps in the UAE.

Applications include 4 chemical types:

Polymer dosing

pH correction

Ferric chloride

Sodium hypochlorite dosing

Disinfection in food production and pharmaceuticals

Gear Dosing Pump

Two intermeshing gears are used in these pumps that trap and transport the liquid between teeth and casing. These pumps deliver pulse-free and smooth flow although they are compact in design. 

These pumps are ideal for 3 fluid types:

  • Fuels and lubricants
  • Polymer and additive injection 
  • Oils in lubrication process
