Dosing pump in aquaculture – description, applications and technical features

A dosing pump in aquaculture is equipment designed to precisely inject small volumes of liquids (nutrients, disinfectants, oxygen enhancers, medicines, or pH correctors) into the water of a pond or a farming system.

General description

A dosing pump in aquaculture is equipment designed to precisely inject small volumes of liquids (nutrients, disinfectants, oxygen enhancers, medicines, or pH correctors) into a pond or a recirculating system.

  • Main function: ensures controlled and continuous injection of a liquid product, based on a set flow or time.

  • Principle: a dosing chamber draws in the product and then discharges it through a diaphragm or piston, ensuring an accurate volume per cycle.

  • Materials: corrosion- and chemical-resistant (PVC, PVDF, stainless steel, PTFE).

  • Accuracy: typically ±1 to 3% of the set flow rate.
