Wastewater Chemical Feed and Control

Chemical feed and control systems are a vital component in all wastewater treatment applications.   Each chemical has its own unique set of challenges that must be taken into consideration in the design, selection and application of the feed system.  No matter what chemical you are dosing; safety, reliability and precise control are required to optimize the treatment objective and reduce operating costs.

Wastewater Dry Polymer Chemical Feed and Control System - PolyBlend DP

Used for precise control over water quality, these systems must also include on line measurement and control ensuring safe and reliable operation.  Our extensive portfolio of solutions is designed to meet all of your gas, liquid, dry and polymer feed requirements.

Typical wastewater treatment chemicals:

  • Gas phase chlorine, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide or ammonia
  • Liquid phase hypochlorite, sulfates/sulfites, corrosion inhibitors, acids, caustics, antiscalants and antifoaming agents
  • Polymers for coagulation, flocculation and sludge thickening
  • Dry substances such as lime, activated carbon, powdered, flaked and pelletized materials

    An extensive range of Wallace & Tiernan® and Stranco® gas feed, liquid feed, dry feed and polymer feed systems and analyzers and controllers provides a unique solution capability from a single source covering the entire wastewater treatment process.

     

    Technologies in our chemical feed and control portfolio include:
    Gas feed systems
    Liquid feed systems
    Dry feed systems
    Polymer feed systems
    Chemical induction systems
    Analyzers and process controllers

     

    Gas feed systems can pose serious health and safety risks.  They can also be a challenge to control accurately and reliably with varying pressures from the supply to the point of injection.

    With over 95-years of experience, we pioneered the solution to these challenges.  Our gas feed systems operate using the all-vacuum principle, eliminating pressurized supply lines from the gas cylinder up to the injection point.  For the precise control of gas flow rate, our time-tested and worldwide proven V-notch flow control technology provides unparalleled performance delivering a wide range of control and high repeatability.

     

    While liquid feed systems pose the fewest challenges, long-term accuracy and reliability are the key ingredients to success.  Of special concern are liquids that have a high vapor pressure which can be difficult to meter reliably.  This begins with selecting the appropriate materials of construction to the hydraulic, mechanical and electrical design details.

     

    Our equipment can be used to accurately dose chemicals ranging from sodium hypochlorite, acids and caustics to viscous polymers and slurries in a dependable and safe manner. High performance materials are used in all critical areas to ensure optimum compatibility and long service life.  Our Encore® 700 diaphragm metering pump is among the most efficient and reliable pump in the industry.  And our LVN 2000 liquid chemical feed system utilizes the V-notch flow control technology, operating under vacuum, ideal for liquids that have a tendency to out-gas or become air-bound in pumps.

     

    Dry feed systems present a different set of challenges due to their inability to flow like liquids, hide out in crevices, become compacted, clog openings, etc.  Handling of bulk materials, preparation of slurries, measuring and accurately controlling the dose can be troublesome if not done correctly.

     

    For decades, our dry feed products and systems have been delivering outstanding performance to precisely measure and effectively disperse and dose common dry water treatment chemicals.  Special care and attention to detail go into all of our products providing long-term, low maintenance solutions.  From silos to slakers, gravimetric and volumetric feed systems, manual and automatic control, we can provide a solution to meet your needs.

     

    Polymers, which are quite complex, posses unique properties that require special care, attention and understanding.  For full utilization of the polymer, it must be properly dissolved, activated, aged and dispersed.  If any one of these steps is not done with the utmost care, the result will be excessive polymer consumption and unreliable polymer performance, ultimately resulting in unnecessary higher operating costs.

     

    Our innovative PolyBlend® polymer dosing technology effectively addresses and overcomes these difficulties, maximizing polymer efficiency and reducing consumption.  Available in a wide range of capacities and tailored to your exact polymer’s requirements, you can be assured of complete polymer utilization and low operating costs.

     

    Chemical induction systems play an important role in chemical feed and control applications.  As costs for specialty treatment chemicals continue to rise, realizing the most efficient use of these includes dilution, injection and mixing. 

     

    Our Water Champ® vacuum chemical induction system features an innovative design for superior mixing characteristics providing near perfect and instantaneous mixing.  The result - precise control, reduced chemical waste and improved chemical efficacy.

    Wastewater Chemical Feed and Control Case Study

    New Polymer Feed System Provides Efficient Polymer Activation For Less Capital Outlay, Smaller Footprint

    The 1.5 million gallons per day (MGD) West Carrollton Wastewater Treatment Plant in West Carrollton, Ohio came on-line in 1989 and today serves 12,000 area residents. The activated sludge facility produces an average of 200 wet tons/month of sludge that, following belt filter press dewatering, is spread on area farmland by a biosolids management company. Polymer is added to the sludge prior to belt press dewatering to aid in liquid-solid separation.
