In-Line Dosing - Booster Pump
Heron’s in-Line dosing system is accurate, easy to use, and requires minimum maintenance. The in-line dosing system has many design features to ensure that acid and fertilizer are dosed accurately and safely.
Heron’s inline dosing system also offers a cost effective alternative to mechanical fertilizer injectors.
- Suitable for large irrigation flow rates of up to 60 cubic m hour.
- Up to 6 fertilizer injectors and one acid injector can be fitted.
- Up to 16 dosing recipes can be programmed.
- Venturis are used for fertilizer and acid dosing to provide a rugged design with minimum moving parts.
- As standard, fertilizer dosing is controlled by measuring electrical conductivity (EC).
- Proportional dosing of fertilizer available when using a flow meter.
- Dosing system uses a unique algorithm to give accurate pH and EC control with varying flow
rates. - Concentrated acid (70%) can be used as the Heron inline dosing system automatically pre-dilutes the acid.
- No moving parts or seals in contact with the concentrated acid.
- Changing acid barrels could not be simpler or safer. Just drop the acid line in the new barrel.
Features
Heron’s inline dosing system can be stand alone or connected to a Heron irrigation controller.
Up to 5 dosing rigs can be connected to one Heron irrigation controller. If connected to a Heron irrigation controller, dosing recipes can be changed automatically as different irrigation
programmes are run.
For each dosing recipe you can specify :-
- Which fertilizer injectors to use
- Whether the fertilizer injector is to be controlled by EC or proportion
- The percentage (0 to 100%) that each injector will contribute to the recipe
- Whether acid injection is required and the required pH level.
Additionally, the dosing rig can be controlled and monitored via any internet connected devise using herion's Web App.
System Configuration
A booster pump is used to drive the venturi injectors. The size of the booster required pump will be dependent upon the line pressure and the number of injectors. Various sizes of dosing rigs are available
