In addition to water treatment and food industries, dosing pumps, also known as chemical metering pumps, are used in plants, agriculture, manufacturing wing, medical laboratories and mining operations. A chemical pump might be used to add a caustic chemical or an acid to a water storage tank to neutralize the pH. It can also be used as a chlorine pump to kill bacteria. A chemical dosing pump is designed to operate in challenging situations, such as high temperature and high pressure environments.
