An apparatus and related method for introducing chemical treatment to a slurry. The apparatus includes a manifolded conduit for receiving and transferring slurry, a chemical treatment pump for regulated introduction of one or more chemicals to the slurry in the conduit, a controller unit, and a chemical treatment mixing tank. The chemical treatment apparatus may be stationary or located on a portable transport. The controller unit includes a programmable logic controller arranged to calculate suitable chemical treatment introduction parameters from meter information associated with the slurry flow. The programmable logic controller is further programmed to control operation of the chemical treatment pump and any slurry mixers to optimize slurry treatment, such as flocculation.
