Diaphragm dosing pumps support a wide range of applications, from disinfection to pH control and nutrient delivery. Isolating aggressive chemicals from mechanical components offers a dependable solution that limits wear, helps prevent leaks, and maintains consistent performance over time. In this article, we take a closer look at how diaphragm dosing pumps work in effective water and wastewater treatment.
A diaphragm dosing pump is a type of water pump designed for precise chemical injection. It moves fluid by flexing a diaphragm in a sealed chamber. As the diaphragm retracts, fluid is drawn in through a one-way inlet valve.
When it extends, the fluid is pushed out through an outlet valve, which delivers a measured volume with each stroke. This design ensures long-term dosing accuracy and safely handles corrosive, hazardous, or high-purity chemicals without damaging internal components or disrupting the flow.
Diaphragm dosing pumps are commonly used in systems that require accurate, repeatable chemical delivery. Typical applications include:
Diaphragm dosing pumps help operators manage chemical delivery accurately with features such as:
Diaphragm dosing pumps must be matched to the specific chemical being used, the control system in place, and the on-site conditions. At Dowdens, we design systems that consider all of this from the outset, ensuring accurate, safe, and reliable chemical delivery.
