Product Introduction
The skid mounted chemical dosing unit is a packaged modular system built on a shared base platform. It can be matched with water filter housing and self-cleaning filter on the upstream pipeline, to remove impurities and avoid pump blockage caused by suspended particles. The whole assembly includes dissolving tank, agitator, level gauge, safety valve, check valve, pressure gauge, filter, pulsation damper, pipelines, valves, ladder, monitoring system and electric control cabinet. Operators add quantitative chemicals into the dissolving tank for mixing and dissolution. After preparation, the metering pump delivers the liquid chemical to dosing points. The dosing flow rate can be adjusted freely to meet different dosing requirements. Users only need to place the skid unit in the dosing room, connect the inlet and dosing outlet pipes, and switch on the power supply to start operation. It supports manual and automatic dosing modes for various water treatment processes.
Working Principle

The chemical powder or liquid agent is added into the dissolving tank first. The built-in agitator runs continuously to fully dissolve the chemical with water. The liquid level sensor monitors the liquid level inside the tank in real time. When the solution is ready, the metering pump pushes the prepared chemical solution through the pipeline to the target dosing point. Accessories such as check valves, pressure gauges and pulsation dampers stabilize the pipeline pressure and protect the metering pump. The filter inside the dosing unit further filters the liquid medicine to reduce wear on pump components. The electric control system controls the start-stop of the agitator and metering pump. The dosing amount can be adjusted according to online water quality signals or manual settings.
Core Advantages
1. Compact skid-mounted structure:
All components are pre-assembled on one base, saving site space.
2. Low running noise & stable operation:
Smooth running, less vibration during long-time continuous dosing.
3. Easy installation and commissioning:
Pre-assembled in factory, only pipe connection and power connection are required on site.
4. Flexible dosing adjustment:
Metering pump flow can be adjusted freely to adapt to different water quality conditions.
5. Dual operation modes:
Support manual and automatic dosing to match different project control requirements.
6. Complete safety accessories:
Equipped with safety valve, check valve and pressure gauge for pipeline overpressure protection.

FAQ
Q1: What chemicals can this dosing unit add?
A: It can be configured for oxygen scavenger, phosphate, coagulant, flocculant, corrosion inhibitor, acid and alkali solution and ferrous sulfate.
Q2: What is the difference between manual and automatic dosing?
A: Manual mode adjusts pump flow on site. Automatic mode links with online water quality sensors, and adjusts dosing volume automatically according to real-time water data.
Q3: Can I customize the tank volume and pump combination?
A: Yes, we support custom skid layout, tank size and pump quantity for special working conditions.
Q4: Why match water filter housing and self-cleaning filter before dosing?
A: Pre-filtration removes large impurities, prevents foreign substances from entering the dosing tank and metering pump, extending pump service life.
Q5: Is the installation complicated?
A: It is pre-assembled as a skid. Just connect water inlet, dosing pipeline and power supply, no complicated on-site assembly.
