UNTREATED wastewater significantly worsens global water scarcity, with around 80% released untreated, and just 8% treated in low-income countries.
This leads to contamination, disease, declining biodiversity, and toxic algae blooms. However, effective wastewater treatment is achievable. Investing in innovative pump solutions is essential for ensuring water security, driving sustainability, and supporting socioeconomic progress, while safeguarding our health and vital resources.
Verder Pumps’ dosing pump ranges are comprehensive, encompassing an array of solutions tailored to meet diverse dosing requirements which are further bolstered by the Microdos and ITC ranges. From electromagnetic solenoid-powered diaphragm pumps to peristaltic pumps and motor-driven piston and diaphragm pumps, the portfolio encompasses a versatile suite of products designed to deliver precise and controlled chemical dosing across various applications.
These pumps are necessary in industries such as municipal water treatment for wastewater and drinking water as well as industrial wastewater management where accurate dosing is imperative.
The company’s ITC DOSmart series, for example, are stepper motor metering pumps with advanced control functions to accurately and efficiently automate the dosing of liquid chemicals. These dosing pumps offer high precision, broad adjustment possibilities (1:3000) and an excellent suction capacity, including with viscous products, at a flow rate of up to 60 l/hr.
The DOSmart series is also integratable with multiparametric controllers for monitoring and controlling proportional chemical dosing for water treatment and industrial processes. This includes the ability to monitor chemical levels, flow and temperature, as well as adjust them through the control outlets.
Similarly, the ITC Dostec AC series is a new generation of dosing pumps. Its advanced control allows precise and efficient automatic dosing, making it well positioned as a versatile solution for dosing a wide range of chemicals. Available in diaphragm or piston, this series allows adaptable dosing settings, whether manual, analogue, proportional or batch, offering the ability to set up dosing programmes at set intervals for greater efficiency and operational control. With similar capabilities as the DOSmart, the Dostec AC series can manage higher flow rates (ranging from 3 to 1200 l/hr for piston and 5 to 1800 l/hr for diaphragm) and is controlled with a VSD.
Both the DOSmart and Dostec AC series pumps can be remotely monitored and controlled via a CloudManager App which revolutionises the way pump systems are monitored and managed, offering a seamless digital interface for real-time data access and control. This cutting-edge application enables users to remotely monitor pump performance, track operational metrics, and receive instant alerts about system status and potential issues, all from a centralised platform. The app facilitates proactive maintenance, reducing downtime and optimising efficiency, which is crucial for maintaining seamless operations.
Additionally, Verder Pumps’ Verderflex® peristaltic pumps are a fundamental component of their dosing pump range. These pumps are specifically engineered to manage abrasive, corrosive, and viscous fluids, making them perfect for dosing and transferring chemicals used in water treatment processes.
By employing a re-enforced rubber hose subjected to compression and relaxation cycles, peristaltic pumps ensure the contained medium, such as lime or flocculant, remains isolated from the pump’s moving parts. This design minimises downtime and maintenance costs associated with traditional pump types, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution for dosing applications. Moreover, peristaltic pumps boast advantages such as compact size, energy efficiency, continuous operation, and reduced risk of leakages, contributing to enhanced operational efficiencies and environmental sustainability.
The integration of advanced dosing pump technology not only enhances industrial processes’ efficiency but also holds profound implications for environmental conservation and water resource management. By facilitating precise chemical dosing and wastewater treatment, fit-for-purpose pump solutions play a pivotal role in safeguarding freshwater sources, ensuring the sustainability of water resources.
