Method and apparatus for control of a gas or chemical

A system for treatment of a fluid with a treatment additive, the system comprising:

• a reactor having a first inlet for receipt of the fluid, at least one second inlet for receipt of the treatment additive, and an outlet for release of the treated fluid therefrom;
• at least one treatment additive flow meter for control of the amount of treatment additive to enter the reactor through one of the at least one second inlets;
• a monitoring device positioned within the reactor for measuring the amount(s) of the treatment additive in the fluid in the reactor;
• and
• a controller operably connected to the at least one flow meter and to the monitoring device, the controller operably to control the at least one flow meter based on the measured amount(s) of the treatment additive.
