Introduction In municipal and industrial water treatment, diaphragm pumps—whether Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD), solenoid metering, or mechanically actuated—are the workhorses of chemical delivery and sludge handling. Yet, they are frequently the source of disproportionate operational headaches. A surprising industry statistic suggests that while chemical feed systems often represent less than 5% of a plant’s capital […]

Introduction One of the most persistent challenges in municipal and industrial water treatment design is the fragmentation of technology. A typical treatment plant is a complex assembly of headworks, biological processes, clarification, disinfection, and solids handling systems. When engineers treat these as isolated unit processes, the facility often suffers from integration failures, disparate control philosophies, […]
