Hydraulically Actuated Metering Pumps
Advantages Disadvantages
Very accurate High capital costs
5
Materials Matter
6
Lessons learned- Flexible Connections
Not always so flexible
7
Mechanically Actuated Pumps
8
Mechanically Actuated Pumps
9
Mechanically Actuated Metering Pumps
Advantages Disadvantages
No intermediate hydraulic Lower discharge pressures
fluid
Material compatibility
Easier maintenance
Lower cost
10
Mechanically Actuated Pumps
Materials Matter
Chemical concentration
matters
Sodium hydroxide
Sulfuric acid (Kynar is
compatible below 93%, not
above)

Solenoid Pumps
Advantages Disadvantages
Low capital cost High flow applications, low
pressure
Easy installation, simple
controls Not very rugged
14
What is a Turndown Ratio?
15
Turndown Ratios- Stroke Length
Typically, manually adjusted
Manual Stroke
Adjustment
16
Stroke Frequency
Typically automatically Pump 1 Pump 2
adjusted (4-20 mA
signal)
Flowrate 15.9 14
When looking at a pump, (gph)
do not typically want a
high stroke frequency
Discharge 145 145
(diaphragm can wear Pressure
out) (psi):
17
Peristaltic Pumps
Positive displacement
18
Peristaltic Pumps
Advantages
Chemical is only in contact
with hose
Backflow/siphoning not an
issue
19
Peristaltic Pumps
Disadvantages
If a hose fails, chemical
leaks all over; could
result in complete
replacement of the
pump
Capital cost
20
Progressing Cavity
21
Progressing Cavity
Advantages Disadvantages
Does not shear chemicals Capital costs
apart
Turndown
Can pump to high pressure
applications Controls
Reliability
22
Controls
Flow pacing
Chemical is fed based on the flow rate (raw water, finished
water, etc) and an input dosage rate
23
Local Control Panels
24
Local Control Panels
Need to coordinate
on size of local
control panels
Is there enough
space?
25
Mag Flow Meters
1 ft/s velocity
minimum
26
Discharge Piping & Controls for metering
pumps
Flow Switch-Tells you if there is
flow or not, signal sent to SCADA
Pressure Indicator-Pressure
gauge; requires a diaphragm seal
(watch the materials!)
27
Diaphragm Metering Pump Hydraulics
28
Hydraulics- Discharge Piping
Why does this matter? What are you feeding into? Can
you change the feed point to a lower pressure
application?

Diaphragm Metering Pump Hydraulics
30
Pump Hydraulics- Peristaltic and
Progressing Cavity
Hazen-Williams DOES apply at low viscosities (less than 50
centipoise)
31
Viscosities of Common WTP Chemicals
Chemical Name Viscosity (centipoise)
Alum (48%) 60 cps @ 30oF
Ferric Sulfate (46%) 20 cps
Glycerin > 1000 (depending on
concentration/temp)
Magnesium Hydroxide 200
32
Why is this tank on a platform?
Typically,
mechanical and
hydraulic
diaphragm pumps
have low suction lift
33
Discharge piping- Double Check it!!
34
Typical Feed Schematic (Diaphragm
pump shown)
35
Accessories
36
Valves and Accessories
Ball Valves
Used for isolation of pumps, feed lines
Chemicals that off-gas need to have vented ball valves
Sodium hypochlorite vapors can build up behind the valve
37
Valves and Accessories
Diaphragm Valves
38
Pulsation Dampener
39
Back Pressure Valves
40
Anti-Siphon Valves
41
Calibration Columns
42
Lessons learned- Calibration Columns
43
Y- strainers and flushing connections
44
Needle Valves
45
Static Mixers
Used for dispersing chemical
46
Overall Chemical Injection Schematic
47
Skid Mounted Pumps
Efficient on space
Maintenance
issues- shop
drawing review is
key
48
Carrier Water
When is it a good idea? When is it a bad idea?
Low velocity application points Limited water
where mixing/dispersion is
needed
Coagulants should be fed neat
Heat/exothermic reaction
High water hardness
Dilution is necessary
Is it going to affect the
instrumentation? Chlorine
Applications where flushing the residual?
line is a good idea
