CHEMICAL DILUTION SYSTEM SAVES MONEY AND INCREASES SAFETY

CHEMICAL DILUTION SYSTEM SAVES MONEY AND INCREASES SAFETY

Like buying orange juice and detergents, water treatment chemicals are almost always less expensive to purchase in higher concentrations.  Unfortunately, feeding high strength chemicals into process water can create problems for the water treatment operator.  These problems may stem from things like extremely low feed rates, chemical off-gassing, hard process water and safety or regulatory concerns in handling high strength chemicals.  An innovative engineer and a determined Northwestern city set out to solve these problems with a chemical dilution system that met both their budget and design criteria.
