Pumps are not all the same regardless of what industry wisdom tries to preach. When one considers a chemical dosing pump application, the chemical pump one has in mind is not a dosing or metering pump. Dosing pumps are not common applications to most industrial fitters or engineers and do not generally form part of their experiences on a daily basis. Typically dosing pumps would be used in water treatment on chillers, heat exchangers, cooling towers and on the odd occasion in the actual process stream when specific chemicals or additives need to be injected into the system. Dosing pumps can also be used in lubrication applications for grease or oils. Many of these applications are out sourced from the suppliers of the chemicals, additives or lubricants.
