FeCl3 Dosing System by Premix Technologies: Precision Water Treatment Optimization

Introduction: Enhancing Water Treatment with Controlled Ferric Chloride Dosing

Ferric chloride (FeCl3) is a highly effective coagulant used in water and wastewater treatment to promote coagulation, flocculation, and phosphorus removal. By destabilizing suspended particles and facilitating the formation of settleable flocs, FeCl3 improves water clarity and removes contaminants like phosphates, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations such as EPA or WHO guidelines. Precise dosing and uniform mixing are critical to optimize treatment efficiency, minimize chemical waste, and prevent corrosion due to FeCl3’s acidic nature.

Premix Technologies, based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, designs advanced FeCl3 Dosing Systems for water treatment applications. Our systems integrate agitators for homogeneous FeCl3 solution mixing and automated dosing pumps for precise injection, ensuring effective coagulation and phosphorus removal. With robust safety features and compliance with global standards, we provide reliable solutions for municipal water treatment, industrial wastewater, and process water clarification.
