The chemical reagents used in water treatment are basically of two types, those ready for immediate use and those to be dissolved and prepared.
The ready-to-use chemicals are in liquid form, in the purchase phase is to be evaluated storage as in small or occasionally used purification plants, it is possible to use the reagents stored in containers supplied directly by the manufacturer.
In water treatment plants of a certain size, chemical reagents are stored in special tanks with the correct chemical compatibility and equipped with a safety jacket system.
In these water treatment plants, in order to optimize timing and safety, reagent storage is completed by loading lines, with safety vents and level viewer.
The reagents, to be prepared in powder, must be dissolved in water, the water treatment plants that provide these types of reagent, have storages equipped with electro agitator where it is possible to introduce the powder product and water in the right proportions.
Other chemical products such as flocculants, can have automatic self-preparators, this system called polipreparator, is used on purification plants of fair size.
The storage tanks can be equipped with automations and controls that go from the simple communication or vision of the residual level of chemical product, to the verification of possible overflow or leakage, to the automatic control of the concentrations of the products to prepare.
