CO2 Gas Dosing System

CO2 Injection System

CO₂ Gas Injection System for Water Treatment & Neutralisation Applications

The CO₂ Gas Injection System is designed for precise introduction of carbon dioxide into water treatment processes requiring pH adjustment, remineralisation, or neutralisation control. The package is suitable for continuous industrial operation and is engineered as a compact skid-mounted assembly for simplified installation and reliable long-term service.

The system enables controlled dosing of gaseous CO₂ into side-stream or process water lines while maintaining stable operating conditions and accurate flow regulation.
Applications commonly include desalination facilities, utility water treatment systems, industrial process water conditioning, and municipal treatment installations.

Mixing & Gas Dissolution Arrangement

To improve gas absorption efficiency, the system can be integrated with static mixing equipment or engineered gas dispersion assemblies.

These devices are designed to promote uniform gas distribution within the water stream while minimising pressure losses and maintenance requirements.
Key advantages include:

  • High CO₂ dissolution efficiency
  • Uniform mixing characteristics
  • Low operating energy demand
  • No rotating or moving components
  • Reduced maintenance requirements
  • Stable long-term process performance
  • Reliable operation in continuous service conditions

The injection arrangement may be configured for side-stream dosing into the primary process water line to optimise gas transfer efficiency.

Operating Conditions

Typical design conditions are as follows:

Parameter Typical Value
Ambient temperature >10°C
Maximum ambient temperature 45°C
Relative humidity 34% – 99%
Maximum wind speed 20 m/s
Water operating temperature 10°C – 32°C
Maximum side-stream pressure 3.5 bar

(Note: An optional low-temperature package is available.)

Final design values may vary depending on project specifications and site conditions.
