Surface water typically contains suspended solids, bacteria, algae, organic matter, and other impurities that can pose health risks while also affecting taste, odor, and clarity. Producing safe, high-quality drinking water therefore requires a carefully controlled treatment process designed to efficiently remove these contaminants.
This process relies on the precise dosing of coagulants, flocculants, disinfectants, and pH control chemicals, each playing a critical role at different stages of treatment. With multiple dosing points throughout the plant, maintaining accuracy and consistency is essential to ensure stable operation and compliance with water quality standards.
At the heart of this performance lies metering pump reliability and precision.
Milton Roy metering pumps are a trusted solution for municipal surface water treatment applications. Engineered for continuous-duty operation, they provide high dosing accuracy across a wide range of flow rates, along with advanced features that support process control and system integration.
With thousands of installations worldwide, Milton Roy pumps are recognized for their robust design, long-term reliability, and low maintenance requirements, helping reduce downtime and total lifecycle costs.
Beyond Dosing: Controlling Coagulation Performance
Effective Flash Mixing
Coagulants must be rapidly and uniformly dispersed immediately after injection to ensure proper destabilization of particles and initiate coagulation.
Real-Time Coagulation Control
Raw water quality can vary continuously. To maintain consistent performance, the coagulation process must be monitored and adjusted in real time.
