A chemical dosing system is a facility for automated injection of reagents into a wastewater network for the control of septicity and odour emissions. These systems are typically used at pump stations, sewer manholes, and rising mains. However, they can be installed any place where odour containment is required.
The word dosing is very commonly used by engineers in thermal power stations, in water treatment, in any industry where steam is being generated, and in building services for heating and cooling water treatment. Dosing procedures are also in vogue in textile and similar industries where chemical treatment is involved.
Phosphate removal is carried out by dosing chemicals, normally iron, or occasionally aluminium, salts.
