The Lyons Filter Co. Automatic Alkalinity Controller provides a simple and reliable means of automatically control lime treatment of water from variable sources. These sources can vary in quantity, quality, or temperature.
Untreated water (13) enters through a control valve (1) and is mixed with chemicals in the mixing zone (3). Chemicals are added from a chemical storage tank (12) utilizing a feed pump (11). The water and chemicals overflow to the downcomer to enter the flocculation zone (2). This system represents a typical arrangement of rapid mixing and flocculation. The exact configuration can vary from that shown. The Automatic Alkalinity Controller system monitors the conductivity of the untreated water (5 & 7) and of the treated water (6 & 8). The conductivity meters (7 & 8) generate 4-20 ma signals proportional to the values of conductivity. These signals are transmitted to the processor in the Alkalinity Controller. The controller also receives a signal from the plant control panel (10) to determine if the plant is running and sends a signal to the chemical pump (11) to start and /or stop it. This system can also be set up to modulate the chemical pump instead of on-off control.

Alkalinity Control
The Automatic Alkalinity Controller package consists of a control panel with equipment to monitor two points in the water treatment system. The panel includes a microprocessor that controls the lime feed pump. Also included is an interface module which allows the operator to enter set points and various other operating parameters.
