Real Specifications
| Caustic dosing equipment | ProMinent Fluid Controls metering pumps dose caustic into the Snyder 4,500-gallon double-wall polyethylene holding tank under closed-loop PLC control | automated-wastewater-ph-treatment.md |
| Target compliance range | Caustic dosing brings inflow from pH 3.3 to a consistent 5.5-6.5 compliant discharge range | automated-wastewater-ph-treatment.md |
| PLC controller | ProMinent Dialog X PLC controller manages closed-loop dosing | automated-wastewater-ph-treatment.md |
Dosing caustic without closed-loop pH feedback risks overshooting past the 5.5-6.5 compliant window into an over-alkaline discharge — a new compliance failure, not a fix. The case study's non-contact radar level sensor plus inline pH sensor exist specifically to prevent that overshoot.
The caustic dosing chemical is the corrective input, not a fire-and-forget one — dose too little and the stream stays out of compliance, dose too much without closed-loop feedback and you've created a new pH-overshoot violation on the other end of the scale. The same tank and dosing hardware handle both acidic and caustic wastewater streams; what changes is the control logic around them, not the tank material.
