Water treatment blowers and dosing pumps for coagulants, flocculants, and neutralizers
The management of water cycles, in both civil and industrial sectors, requires constant control to guarantee water quality and the efficiency of plant assets. FPZ solutions are designed to meet the rigorous needs of chemical conditioning and physical-chemical processes, where dosing accuracy is decisive for treatment success.
FPZ’s technological offering focuses on the use of dosing pumps for reagent injection, side channel blowers for water treatment and biological oxidation processes, and industrial fans for process emission management. This synergy allows for addressing the various phases of treatment with customized solutions, from potabilization to wastewater purification, up to the stabilization of chemical parameters in circuits such as cooling towers and boilers.
The focus of the range is aimed at maximum chemical compatibility and mechanical reliability. Our configurations include coagulant dosing pumps and systems for pH neutralization, which can include a condensate pump with neutralizer or a specific condensate pump neutralizer. Furthermore, dedicated solutions such as the flocculant dosing pump are designed to optimize sedimentation times and the separation of suspended solids. From the reduction of bacterial load to the prevention of scaling and corrosion, FPZ provides technologies that ensure process stability and reduction of operational costs.
FPZ side channel blowers, metering pumps and industrial fans are used in various applications for water treatment:
- Wastewater treatment
- Drinking water treatment
- Boiler water treatment
- Cooling tower water treatment
Side channel blowers for wastewater treatment
FPZ side channel blowers are used in the water purification process, in traditional activated sludge plants or in systems with membrane bioreactors i.e. MBR (Membrane Biological Reactor) and SAFF (Submerged Aerobic Fixed Film reactor).
Oil separation
The oil separation, or degreasing process, aims to remove the excess of oils and fats from the water. The air is blown from the bottom of the tanks through porous diffusers. The emulsified fats, pushed towards the surface, are discharged into a collection well.
Biological oxidation
In the biological oxidation phase, the air blown through porous diffusers provides the oxygen that degrades the organic substances present in the wastewater.
Air-lift
The air generated by the blower feeds the air-lift pump, used for lifting and recirculating water with mud or sand.
Our solutions
Three families of blowers are usually used in the wastewater treatment.
Available with directly driven motor or elastic motor coupling in horizontal or vertical form
(MOR, GOR and GVR).
MS
Single impeller single stage
MD
Single impeller double stage
TD
Double impeller double stage
Pumps for dosing coagulants, flocculants, and neutralizing agents in wastewater treatment
In wastewater treatment, in addition to side channel blowers, FPZ also supplies pumps for dosing coagulants, flocculants, and neutralizing agents used in chemical dosing processes.
Coagulation and flocculation dosing pumps
Metering pumps are used to coagulate and flocculate chemicals such as polyelectrolyte, ferric chloride and aluminum sulphate, with the aim of precipitating the sludge to the bottom of the tank, and then eliminating it.
Neutralization pumps
Metering pumps are also used for the dosage of chemicals for pH regulation such as sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid aluminum sulphate.
Our solutions
The dosing pumps generally used for coagulation, flocculation and neutralisation are mechanical diaphragm spring return ones but Doseuro’s range also includes electric mixers and automatic systems for the polyelectrolyte preparation.

Pumps for boiler water treatment
Metering pumps are used in the boiler water treatment process for chemical dosage, useful for damage prevention and protection of the boiler
Corrosion reduction
The pump doses chemicals (hydrazine and ammonia) to eliminate erosion, corrosion and the accumulation of limescale inside the boiler.
Phosphate level control
Furthermore, the metering pump is also used to inject phosphates, thereby controlling the levels present in the boiler feed water.
Our solutions
The metering pumps used in boiler water treatment are high-pressure pumps and Doseuro, compared to the competition, offers not only positive return pumps but also spring return pumps.

Cooling tower water treatment
To increase the productivity of industrial plants, the water present in the cooling towers is treated thanks to the use of metering pumps.
Reduction of corrosion and limescale deposits
The pump injects chemicals, such as corrosion inhibitors (e.g. bicarbonates) to neutralize acidity, limescale inhibitors (e.g. phosphoric acid) to prevent contaminants from forming limescale deposits.
Our solutions
In this application, spring return pumps, both piston and mechanical diaphragm, and solenoid pumps are used.

Pumps for drinking water treatment
Dosing pumps are also used in water treatment systems for domestic use.
PH and chlorine control
During this treatment process, the groundwater becomes drinkable and the metering pumps are used to control pH and chlorine levels.
Our solutions
The SMF type solenoid pumps are the most used in the drinking water purification systems.
SDP Series – Type SMF
Solenoid pumps
Industrial fans for wastewater treatment
FPZ is also present in wastewater treatment with a wide range of Arivent industrial fans, used for various applications.
Sludge drying
In the sludge drying process, industrial fans are used to transport the air that was previously heated by batteries.
Ammonia volatilization
In the process of ammonia volatilization, the water, rich in nitrates, is oxygenated by the air blown by the fan.
Water flotation
Flotation is an operation that allows both suspended particles, that have a tendency to float freely (they have a density lower than water), along with those that are poorly sedimentable, to be brought to the water surface.
Scrubber for air purification
In the case of a scrubber for air purification, 2 types of industrial fans are used:
- Upstream of the scrubber -> coming into contact with gases that can be corrosive and abrasive, the fan is made of AISI or coated with ebonite or Halar and the impeller is always coated.
- Downstream of the scrubber -> having to convey the air that has already been purified, the fan must have special characteristics.
Our solutions
In the sludge drying process, the fans are designed to withstand high temperatures, such as the S and P series, while for ammonia volatilization and water flotation, the fans must have a very high pressure capability, such as those of the P family.
ATEX Versions

For the last application, use on a scrubber for air purification, the whole range of Arivent centrifugal fans are suitable.
