Chemical dosing units

Chemical dosing in wastewater treatment is the controlled delivery of chemicals into the process stream either to adjust and maintain the pH, reduce hydrogen sulphide odours, prevent corrosion of sewer assets, or remove undesirable elements such as phosphorous or fats oils and grease.

Our engineered and cost-effective solutions are tailored to meet your specific needs and budget.

The standard dosing can be deployed in optional configurations as required by specific sites. Where the units will be deployed in a public space or a site with low security, the system can be fitted with external cladding to prevent damage due to vandalism. Where the system is exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures as is common with remote sites, the systems can come fitted in an insulated panel.

ACTI-Mag is not categorised as a dangerous chemical and in most jurisdictions does not require bunding. However to reduce the impact of any spills customers can opt to have the unit in a fully bunded enclosure.

WE OFFER A RANGE OF MODELS TO MEET DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS

Flex

Compact, reliable and innovative

Calix’s standard dosing system is a compact, reliable and innovative system based on years of experience with Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid. The system includes a 2000L conical tank, a peristaltic pump capable of dosing up to 70L of ACTI-Mag per hour, an external recirculation pump to keep the product homogeneous and a water flush line to keep the dosing line clear and reduce build-up. The system can operate in a variety of control modes based on the customers requirements.

These include dosing when the pump station is running, dosing based on daily schedule or continuously varying its dose rate based on inputs from the customers sites. The varying options allow the system to dose the optimal amount of ACTI-Mag for your needs. The standard dosing system is suitable for sites that do not require bunding or additional security. The systems can be easily loaded and unloaded with a forklift.
