Abstract
The present disclosure concerns systems for enriching liquids with one or more additives. More particularly, the disclosure concerns systems for in-line addition of various nutrients into drinking water, the system being configured to add an accurate amount of nutrient into the water as it flows in the supply line based on the actual volume of water flowing through the line.
Claims42
A system for continuous dosing of one or more nutrients into water, the system comprising:
- a water flow line, defined between a water inlet and a water outlet;
- at least one nutrient inlet formed in the water flow line and configured for association with one or more containers, each container holding a nutrient substance and associated with a dosing pump, and configured to add the nutrient substance into the flow line at one or more nutrient inlets defined in the flow line;
- at least one liquid flow indication arrangement configured for providing one or more indicators of water volume flowing in a flow line;
- and
- a control module configured to receive at least one indicator of the water volume from the liquid flow indication arrangement, and induce the dosing pump to dispense one or more dosed quantities of nutrient substance from the container into the flow line as a function of said water volume during flow of the water through the flow line.

A method for continuous addition of one or more nutrients into water, the method comprising:
- measuring a volume of source water flowing in a water flow line defined between a water inlet and a water outlet;
- receiving, by a control module, at least one indicator indicating said volume of water and one or more parameters indicative of the content of said one or more nutrients in the source water, and determining, based on said indicator and parameters, a dose of one or more nutrient substances to be added to the source water;
- and
- adding, during flow of the water through the flow line, said dose of one or more nutrient substances into the water from one or more nutrient substance containers being in liquid communication with the flow line.
