What it Does

Where our
Solutions Work

Blue-White® provides reliable, precise chemical metering pumps, flow meters, and feed systems to support critical pH adjustment applications in municipal water and wastewater facilities. Whether you’re raising pH to prevent corrosion or neutralizing acidic effluent before discharge, our equipment helps treatment operators maintain stable water chemistry, meet permit requirements, and protect infrastructure.

Precision Dosing

Why pH Control Matters in Water Treatment

Maintaining proper pH is fundamental to every stage of water and wastewater treatment. Imbalanced pH levels can lead to:

  • Pipe corrosion and lead leaching in distribution systems
  • Scaling and fouling in membranes and process equipment
  • Reduced chemical treatment efficiency
  • Violations of discharge permits in wastewater effluent

Water utilities rely on continuous, accurate chemical feed to adjust pH and keep systems in compliance without overcorrecting or wasting chemicals.

Treatment Applications

pH Adjustment
Applications

pH Adjustment processes require accurate dosing for:

Drinking Water Corrosion Control


  • Raise pH using caustic soda, lime, or sodium carbonate to reduce lead and copper corrosion in aging infrastructure
  • Stabilize water chemistry post-filtration and before entering distribution systems

Wastewater Neutralization


  • Lower pH using sulfuric acid or raise pH with sodium hydroxide or lime slurry
  • Applied in effluent discharge, biosolids handling, and post-aeration basins
  • Helps avoid biological process upset and permit exceedances

Membrane and RO System Protection


  • Maintain stable pH to reduce scale formation and protect membranes from damage
  • Precise chemical control extends membrane life and reduces cleaning cycles

Applications benefit from automated, flow-paced chemical metering that adjusts to load changes and operating conditions.

The Blue-White Solution

Solutions for
pH Adjustment

We provide a complete, integrated system of pumps, flow meters, and chemical feed skids designed specifically for municipal pH control applications. Our FLEXFLO® Peristaltic Pumps handle viscous and off-gassing chemicals like caustic soda and sulfuric acid with ease, while CHEM-FEED® Diaphragm Pumps deliver steady, high-pressure injection into distribution mains and pressurized lines. Paired with paddlewheel, ultrasonic, or variable area flow meters, the system accurately monitors water flow to pace chemical dosing and improve control. Customizable, pre-plumbed skid systems simplify installation at centralized or remote sites—including lift stations, post-treatment polishing, and membrane skids.

Built for demanding treatment environments, our equipment features corrosion-resistant materials, NEMA 4X/IP66 enclosures for washdown or outdoor installations, and SCADA-ready controls with flow verification and alarm outputs. The result is reliable, low-maintenance performance that reduces operator burden while improving safety through closed systems and leak detection options. Utilities benefit from consistent pH control, improved downstream efficiency, reduced chemical waste through demand-based dosing, and compact, rugged systems that fit easily into tight or remote locations.
