Description
A dosing pump, which is a positive displacement pump, is designed to inject a chemical or another substance into a flow of water, gas, or steam. Dosing pumps, which are typically small, provide an extremely precise flow rate for maximum control. They are the central part of an integrated dosing system designed for the automatic dispersion of chemicals. This dosing definition applies to a wide range of applications and industries, from wastewater treatment to food processing.

Examples of Dosing Pump Applications
In addition to water treatment and food industries, dosing pumps, also known as chemical metering pumps, are used in industrial plants, agriculture, manufacturing facilities, medical laboratories, and mining operations. A chemical feed pump might be used to add a caustic chemical or an acid to a water storage tank to neutralize the pH. It can also be used as a chlorine pump to kill bacteria. A chemical dosing pump is designed to operate in challenging situations, such as high temperature and high-pressure environments.
