pH and Redox dosing: peristaltic pumps for automatic adjustment and control of chemical parameters
 

Professional Espango solutions for automatic dosing and control of pH and Redox in industrial and water treatment applications. Peristaltic pumps and integrated systems for precise and continuous regulation of chemical parameters.

 

PH measurement and Redox potential control are two key aspects of chemical process management and water treatment. The stability of these parameters directly affects plant efficiency, operational safety and the quality of the final result.

In industrial settings, measurement alone is not enough: automatic, continuous and proportionate intervention is required. For this reason, pH and Redox regulation systems integrate measurement and dosing into a single controlled process.

The Made in Italy MP1-Speedy-pH, MP2-pH and MP2-Summer-pH series of peristaltic pumps are exactly what our customers are looking for to monitor their swimming pools and systems independently and automatically

 

The role of pH in industrial processes and water treatment
 

PH determines the chemical balance of a solution and influences the reactivity of the substances present. Even a minimal variation can alter the effectiveness of chemicals, accelerate corrosion or compromise the stability of a production process.

In industrial and technological plants, maintaining a constant value requires the calibrated injection of correctors, such as acids or bases. The dosage must be proportional to the variation detected, avoiding both deficiencies and overdoses that would lead to inefficiencies or waste.

In this context, peristaltic technology offers a significant advantage because it allows for precise and repeatable injection, keeping the fluid completely separate from the mechanical parts of the pump.

 

Redox control and stability of oxidation processes
 

Redox potential measures the oxidising or reducing capacity of a solution and is an essential parameter in disinfection systems and chemical treatments. Monitoring it means ensuring that the process maintains its effectiveness over time.

An automatic Redox control system does not just record a value, but intervenes by adjusting the dosage of the product needed to bring the parameter back within the set threshold. This allows for operational continuity, reduced consumption and preservation of the system's stability.

 

How an automatic pH and Redox adjustment system works
 

A complete system integrates a measuring probe, an electronic control unit and a electromagnetic or peristaltic dosing pump. The probe constantly detects the value of the chemical parameter, the control unit processes the data and activates the pump only when necessary, until the desired value is reached.

This continuous cycle transforms a manual and discontinuous process into an automated and stable control over time. The result is safer, more accurate and more efficient management of chemicals.

When dosing acids, bases and neutralisers, the chemical resistance of the materials is a determining factor. Peristaltic technology is particularly suitable because the fluid is conveyed exclusively inside the tube, avoiding contact with mechanical components subject to wear.

The use of highly chemically resistant materials, such as Teknoprene® TPV, guarantees reliability even in the presence of aggressive solutions and allows for simple and programmable maintenance.


Areas of application for pH and Redox measurement
 

Automatic regulation of these parameters is required in numerous industrial and technological contexts. It is used in process water treatment, wastewater neutralisation, evaporative towers and disinfection systems.

It is also used in the management of water systems in sports and recreational facilities, where constant monitoring of pH and redox potential is essential to ensure safety and quality.

Espango solutions are designed to provide reliable control of chemical parameters, ensuring operational continuity and optimisation of consumption in various application contexts.
