<p>Apparatus for dosing a liquid flow is disclosed. Controlled dosing of liquid flowing in a pipeline (52) is achieved by creating a pressure differential in the pipeline, and applying the pressure differential to a collapsible bladder (30) containing a dosant liquid to cause the bladder to collapse and expel its contents into the pipeline. In a practical embodiment, the bladder is spherical when full and is housed in a spherical vessel (10). An adjustable valve (58) in the pipeline produces the desired pressure differential. The vessel and bladder are respectively connected to the pipeline upstream and downstream of the valve.</p> |
