Betolar has been granted a patent for liquid chemical dosing device

Material technology company Betolar Plc has been granted a patent in Finland for a chemical liquid dosing device and method. The patented invention ensures the efficiency and accuracy of chemical dosing on an industrial scale, which is essential for the low-carbon cement substitution solutions Betolar offers to its customers.

In traditional solutions, the dosing of liquid chemicals is often inaccurate as the dosing device may be located far from the point of use. This can affect the uniformity of chemical dosing. Betolar's patent-protected liquid chemical system utilizing diaphragm pump solution provides more accurate dosing than a conventional transfer pumps, regardless of the transfer height or distance of the liquid being transferred. The dosing pipe has a sensor that measures the flow rate of the solution and sends the information to a control unit. This control signal is used to adjust the pump speed to achieve the desired dosing amount. Additionally, the dosing pipe can be connected to multiple chemical feeds that mix together before the process. This is a significant advantage in many cement-replacing solutions. The solution ensures the correct ratio and even mixing of different chemicals, as well as the more timely initiation of the reactions.

Betolar can utilize the invention in both its mining and concrete businesses. The strengthening patent portfolio is expected to increase the company's business and value in the long term. The patent is not expected to have an immediate impact on Betolar's business results.

Betolar has been granted seven patents and has a significant number of inventions in the process of patent approval to support the needs of the mining and metals industry.
