Chemical Bypass Feeder

Working Principle of Chemical Feeders

Chemical feeders are widely used in several water treatment and recirculation processes across industries. Also called as pot feeder, it feeds a preset amount of chemical for water treatment into the system. Most of these are vertical units and may or may not have a filter attached. These feeders dose chemicals into secondary loops which are placed parallel to the main water boiling or cooling circulation line, depending on the application. These feeders work on pressure and the chemical is circulated with the help of gravity. There are no pumps used to transfer the chemicals. So, this is a very economical and relatively easy way of dosing chemicals into the system for water treatment. The frequency and quantity of dosage is decided based on the application and the type of water. The first dose helps kill bacteria and other contaminants. The next dose may be scheduled over the next week or two. The second dosing does not allow the bacteria, viruses, and other germs to resist the chemical in the first dose. This improves the effectiveness of water treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions on chemical bypass feeders along with their answers.

• What is a chemical bypass feeder?

As mentioned, a chemical bypass feeder is a vessel-like device used to dose chemicals into the secondary loop of an industrial system as part of their water treatment process.

• What is chemical feed tank?

These feeders are also called chemical feed tanks that are used in cooling water as well as hot water treatment applications.

• What is a pot feeder on a boiler?

Bypass feeders are also called pot feeders as they look like a pot or vessel that can be installed on the floor or a 3-leg stand.

• What are chemical feed systems used for?

These systems are used for dosing water treatment chemicals in the right amounts to boilers, coolers, and various water treatment systems. They find applications largely in industrial processes which need the water to be treated before its second use or release in the environment. These industries include oil & gas, HVAC, wastewater, pharmaceutical, chemicals, agriculture, and cooling towers among others.
