SMBS Dosing System by Premix Technologies: Precision Water Treatment and Process Optimization

Introduction: Precision Sodium Metabisulfite Dosing for Industrial Processes

Sodium Metabisulfite (Na2S2O5, SMBS) is a versatile chemical widely used in industrial processes for dechlorination, reducing oxygen levels, and providing antioxidant properties. In water treatment, SMBS is critical for neutralizing residual chlorine in reverse osmosis (RO) systems or protecting equipment from oxidative damage. Its applications also extend to food processing and chemical manufacturing, where it prevents oxidation or microbial growth. Precise dosing and uniform mixing are essential to achieve process goals, minimize chemical waste, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards like EPA or FDA guidelines.

Premix Technologies, based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, designs advanced SMBS Dosing Systems for water treatment and industrial applications. Our systems integrate agitators for homogeneous SMBS solution mixing and automated dosing pumps for precise injection, ensuring effective dechlorination and process optimization. With robust safety features and global standard compliance, we provide reliable solutions for municipal water treatment, RO systems, and industrial processes.
