Modular, Skid Mounted Chemical Dosing System

Industry Served: Water Treatment
Problem:

A treatment plant required a reliable and accurate chemical dosing solution for peracetic acid injection, where precision, safety, and continuous operation were critical. The customer needed a complete, skid-mounted package that would minimize startup time, reduce operational risk, and ensure consistent dosing performance in a demanding environment.

Beyond accuracy, the system also needed built-in protection against common dosing challenges such as pulsation, pressure fluctuations, and potential line blockages while providing operators with clear control and safety features.

Solution:

A modular, skid-mounted peracetic acid dosing system was engineered in a 1+1 configuration, providing one duty pump and one standby pump for uninterrupted operation.

The skid was fully integrated and pre-assembled, incorporating precision dosing, control, and safety components, including:

• Variable-speed metering pumps with VFD control for precise on-site flow adjustment
• 316 stainless steel skid structure, suitable for corrosive and demanding environments
• BLACOH Calibration column for accurate dosing verification
• BLACOH pulsation dampener to smooth pump discharge and stabilize injection
• BLACOH Backpressure and relief valves to protect against pressure excursions and pipe blockages
• Isolated Pressure gauge and flanged connections for monitoring and serviceability
• Electrical control cabinet with indicators, control logic, and emergency stop functionality

This integrated design ensured full compatibility between components while allowing for quick installation and minimal field intervention.

Result:

The completed dosing skid delivered a highly accurate, safe, and reliable peracetic acid injection solution. Key benefits included:

• Accurate and repeatable chemical dosing
• Reduced pulsation and stabilized injection flow
• Protection of pipelines and injection points
• Built-in redundancy for continuous operation
• Faster installation and startup due to the modular skid design
• Improved operational safety through integrated controls and emergency shutdown

The result is a turnkey dosing system that combines efficiency, control, and accuracy in a single package optimized for sanitization processes and long-term reliability in treatment plant applications.
