Recognition that overall system water quality is increasingly dependent on proper disinfectant residual management in the distribution network has led UGSI Solutions to develop a family of network water quality management tools that range from tank mixing (Tank Shark®, PAX Mixers), tank boosting (Chemlocker®) to fully-automated reservoir residual chemistry management (Monoclor® RCS).
The Chemlocker® reservoir dosing station provides operators and water quality professionals with a simple water quality management tool that can aid disinfectant residual management by providing both reservoir residual level assessment and chemical dosing of hypochlorite and or ammonia to reassert control to a free-chlorine or a chloramine disinfectant regime. The Chemlocker® reservoir dosing station replaces the dangerous practice of manual dosing with buckets of bleach hauled up ladders or tank stairways. When complemented with a powerful mixing and in-tank chemical introduction tool such as PAX Tank Mixers or the Tank Shark mixing system, the Chemlocker® is one building block as part of an overall strategy to manage distribution system water quality.
Field installation of a Chemlocker® system (dosing station and Tank Shark® mixer) can be accomplished in less than a week with appropriate concrete footings and permitting.
