Chemical and polymer feeding equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring the right dosage is administered, which can impact the efficiency and safety of the entire treatment process. With innovations constantly emerging in this field, modern systems not only promise precision but also versatility, ease of operation and reliability. Let's delve deeper into some of the leading innovations in this arena.

Blue-White Industries FLEXFLO M4
The low-shearing pumping action of FLEXFLO M4 peristaltic dosing pump from Blue-White Industries allows it to gently and precisely pump chemicals that off gas, including peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite, with no vapor lock and no lost prime. Advanced features include a highly responsive and intuitive 5-inch display, firmware that can be field updated, and easy-to-attach M12 watertight connectors. 714-893-8529; www.blue-white.com

Force Flow Tote Bin Scale
The Tote Bin Scale from Force Flow allows plant operators to accurately monitor the amount of polymer being fed from IBC-type totes for dewatering. Simply place the tote on the platform and monitoring begins, as there is nothing to install inside the tote. Monitoring systems prevent costly overfeed conditions and enable the documentation of the actual amount fed, which keeps the plant in compliance with federal and state reporting requirements. Users can remotely monitor from SCADA or PLC. The unit is available with the SOLO G2 digital display or with the advanced Wizard 4000 chemical inventory management system. 800-893-6723; www.forceflow.com

Lutz-JESCO America LJ-PolyBlend Polymer System
The LJ-PolyBlend Polymer System from Lutz-JESCO America is a dependable, motorized mixing machine with a corrosion-resistant housing, large turbine and multizone mixing chamber that provides uniform dispersion energy at the moment of initial polymer wetting. The prime mixing zone fully activates the polymer, while the second mixing zone promotes gentle polymer activation via a small turbine, lessening molecule fracturing. Its stainless steel injection valve prevents agglomerations and reduces the need for extended mixing time. The system includes a clear mixing chamber that provides visual monitoring of mixing polymer feed. Its compact design — only 1 to 1.5 square feet — means it’s light and allows for easy installation and transportation. It has automatic pump speed adjustment via 4-20mA input, water flow sensor and priming port. 800-554-2762; www.lutzjescoamerica.com
