Dosing skid LNS-DZ Series

Reliable dosing. Precise control. Multi-industry flexibility — a modular family of skid-mounted dosing systems for controlled chemical feed, additive injection, inline blending and process metering across terminals, refineries, chemical plants, utilities and general industry.

01 — Product overview

Description

The LineSig LNS-DZ Series is a modular family of skid-mounted dosing systems engineered for controlled chemical feed, additive injection, inline blending and process metering across terminals, refineries, chemical plants, utilities and general industry.

The family is based on four pump technologies — centrifugal, diaphragm, piston/plunger and precision micro gear — integrated with application-matched flow measurement, pressure protection, process instrumentation, local control and PLC/DCS/SCADA interfaces. Rather than applying one pump principle to every service, LNS-DZ uses an application-specific engineering approach for medium- and high-flow dosing or blending, corrosive and hazardous chemical metering, high-pressure chemical or hydrocarbon injection, and very low-flow precision additive and catalyst dosing.

This allows pump technology, materials, pressure class, filtration, pulsation control, flow measurement and automation to be selected according to the actual liquid and operating conditions.

Typical process architecture

Chemical source / day tank → Suction isolation → Strainer / filter → Selected dosing pump → Pulsation control where applicable → Pressure protection → Flow verification / metering → Control or injection valve → Check valve / injection quill → Process line, tank, manifold or gantry header. The exact process sequence is modified according to service — centrifugal systems may use flow-control valves and/or VFD control; diaphragm systems may include calibration columns and back-pressure valves; piston/plunger systems require engineered pressure protection and pulsation control; micro-gear systems require clean liquid and fine suction filtration.
