minimize chemical dust created by the feeding process;k. Have solution tanks that are sized according to the amount of chemical tobe fed. Undersized or oversized solution tanks shall be avoided; andl. Have rate-of-flow meters on each solution-tank water line to control theamount of solution water going to dry feeder solution tanks.5.1.4. Positive displacement solution pumps.a. Positive displacement type solution feed pumps should be used to feedliquid chemicals, but should not be used to feed chemical slurries.b. Bypass piping or other methods <strong>for</strong> accurately measuring the output of thechemical solution feeders shall be provided.c. Graduated measuring chambers should be built into the feeder piping toallow the feeder output to be routinely checked.5.1.5. Liquid chemical feeders - Siphon control.Liquid chemical feeders shall be such that chemical solutions cannot besiphoned into the water supply. Liquid chemical feeders shall:a. Assure discharge at a point of positive pressure;b. Provide vacuum relief;c. Provide a suitable air gap; ord. Provide diaphragm anti-siphon devices that are spring-loaded in the closedposition on the discharge side of each metering pump head or othersuitable means or combinations as necessary. When metering pump antisiphondevices are provided, they should be selected to provide thebackpressure required by the pump manufacturer.5.1.6. Backflow Prevention.a. A reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly shall beprovided on the service line supplying water to the water treatment plantaccording to the requirements of 10 CSR 60-11.010.b. Backflow prevention shall be provided to ensure that the service waterlines discharging to solution tanks shall be properly protected frombackflow.1. Air gap separation shall be two times the pipe diameter of the waterline serving any chemical solution tank.2. Atmospheric vacuum breakers con<strong>for</strong>ming to the American Society ofSanitary Engineering (ASSE) standard #1001, shall be applied to waterlines serving chemical solution tanks where no shut off or controlvalves are located downstream of the vacuum breaker.3. Pressure vacuum breakers con<strong>for</strong>ming to ASSE standard #1020 shallbe applied to water lines serving chemical solution tanks where shutoff or control valves are located downstream of the vacuum breaker.c. No direct connection shall exist between any sewer and a drain oroverflow from a feeder, solution chamber or tank. All drains shall end atAug. 29, 2003Page 98
