I.Introduction.
I.A. Background. This standard describes the minimum requirements forprogressive cavity chemical metering pumps for water and wastewater treatment systems. This standard covers progressive cavity chemical metering pumps for materials resistant to aggressive chemicals including sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), ferric chloride (FeCl), sulfuric acid (HSO), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and other strong acids and bases.

A progressive cavity chemical metering pump is a type of positive displacement pump and is also known as a progressing cavity pump, pro-cav pump, eccentric screw pump, or cavity pump. It transfers fluid by means of the progress, through the pump, of a sequence of small, fixed-shape, discrete cavities as its rotor turns. This leads to the volumetric flow being proportional to the rotation rate and to low levels of shear being applied to the pumped fluid. Hence, these pumps have application in fluid metering
I.B. History. While inventing a compressor for jet engines, aviation pioneerRené Moineau discovered in 1930 that this principle could also work as a pumping system. The University of Paris awarded Moineau a doctorate of science for his thesis on “the new capsulism.” His pioneering dissertation laid the groundwork for the modern progressive cavity pump.

In 2015, AWWA’s Standards Council approved development of a new standard for Progressive Cavity Chemical Metering Pumps. The new standard was assigned to AWWA Standards Committee 273 for Progressive Cavity Chemical Metering Pumps. This first edition of ANSI/AWWA E200 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. 20, 2018. This edition was approved on June 9, 2023.
8 I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and t
In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states. Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including

13 SECTION 3: DEFINITIONS
The following definitions shall apply in this standard:
1. Capacity: The flow of the pump is directly proportional to the cross-sectional area of the opening of the stator, less the cross-sectional area of the rotor times the velocity of the liquid through the pump. Capacity is equal to the number of revolutions per unit of time multiplied by the pitch length of the stator. In a pump with a double helix for the rotor and a triple internal helix for the stator, each revolution of the rotor moves the cavity two full pitch lengths of the stator.
2. Cavity: Cavities in a progressive cavity chemical metering pump (Figure 1) are formed between the rotor and stator. The cavity is the space formed between the rotor and stator when the rotor turns (Figure 2). When the rotor turns, the cavities progress from the suction to the discharge of the pump. If the rotor rotation is reversed, the cavities progress in the opposite direction. As one cavity diminishes, the following cavity enlarges.

Figure 2 Stages
14 3. Cut-off pressure switch: A switch employed to prevent a pump from operating against a closed system or low-supply level. Positive displacement pumps will continue to deliver fluid until there is an electrical overload.
4. Manufacturer: The party that manufactures, fabricates, or produces materials or products.
5. Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSH): A measure of the available pressure at the suction side of the pump, including atmospheric pressure and vapor pressure of the liquid being pumped. NPSHA shall be calculated using the piping, temperature, elevation, viscosity, and vapor pressure of the liquid.
A
6. Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSH): A measure of the required pressure at the suction side of the pump, including atmospheric pressure and vapor pressure of the liquid being pumped.
R
7. Over-pressure protection: A means to protect a metering pump from being exposed to excessive pressure which would result in the failure of pump internal components and/or external piping system.
8. Pitch length: The length of the helix on either the rotor or the stator from the starting point to where the helix has rotated a complete 360°.
9. Potable water: Water that is safe and satisfactory for drinking and cooking.
10. Pressure capacity: Pump pressure rating that is determined by the number of stages. A two-stage pump has twice the pressure capacity of a single-stage pump, and a three-stage pump has three times the pressure capacity of a single-stage pump.
11. Progressive cavity chemical metering pump: A pump that captures liquid in a defined cavity and moves it from a low-pressure source to a high-pressure destination. The rotor seals tightly against the stator as it rotates, forming a set of fixed-size cavities. The cross-sectional diameter of the fluid never changes; the pump does not pulsate.
12. Purchaser: The person, company, or organization that purchases any materials or work to be performed.
13. Reclaimed water: Wastewater that becomes suitable for beneficial use as a result of treatment.
14. Rotor: A rotating component, usually made of metal, that has been machined into the form of a single eccentric external helix defined by three characteristic dimensions: the simple diameter, the eccentricity, and the pitch length (Figure 2).
15 15. Seal: A device that prevents leakage around the pump shaft. May be mechanical or packing based upon purchaser’s preference, budget, and if a flushing system is required to protect the seal and shaft based upon liquid being conveyed. Care needs to be taken regarding which type of sealing system is used. Factors that determine the type of seal include the corrosiveness of the pumped fluids, the presence and characteristics of any particles in the fluid, the ability of the fluid to harden or crystalize in
A
16. Slip: The difference between the capacity at zero differential pressure and some elevated pressure. It is affected by fluid viscosity, the amount of compression between the rotor and stator, and the pressure per stage.
17. Stage: One complete revolution of the stator helix or the pitch length of the stator.
18. Starting torque: The torque that the electrical motor must provide when it starts the pump from rest or zero speed.
19. Stator: A stationary component that is characterized by an internal double helix, when fitted with a single helix rotor. The stator in a progressive cavity chemical metering pump must have one helix more than what is employed for the external helix on the rotor (Figure 2). The fit between the rotor and stator is a compression fit with the rotor from 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) to 1.0 mm (0.040 in.) larger than the small internal diameter of the stator.
20. Supplier: The party that supplies material or services. A supplier may or may not be the manufacturer.
21. Turn-down ratio: The ratio of the maximum pump output to the minimum pump output while the pump performs within the specified accuracy rating.
22. Viscosity: A measure of the capacity of a substance to resist flow. Viscosity is the ratio of the shear stress rate to the rate of shear strain. Viscosity is expressed in units of stress time. Water at 68°F (20°C) has a viscosity of 0.0208 lbf·s/ft (1.002 × 10 Pa·s or 1.002 cP).
2
–3
23. Volumetric efficiency: Determined by dividing the actual flow delivered by a pump at a given pressure by its theoretical flow. Theoretical flow is calculated by multiplying the pump’s displacement per revolution by its driven speed. If the pump has a displacement of 100 ml/rev and is being driven at 1,000 rpm, its theoretical flow is 100 L/min.
16 24. Wastewater: A combination of the liquid and water-carried waste from residences, commercial buildings, industrial plants, and institutions, together with any groundwater, surface water, and stormwater that may be present.

4.1.4.3 Molded elastomer materials. Various elastomer materials are available for construction of the stator.
4.1.4.3.1 Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) shall be used for NaOCl, aqueous ammonia, acetic acid, and alcohols.
4.1.4.3.2 EPDM has poor abrasion resistance and has marginal performance at temperatures below freezing.
4.1.4.3.3 Buna-N (NBR) shall be used with oil- and water-based slurries or solutions that are moderately resistant to abrasion.
4.1.4.3.4 Fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber (C) is a special-purpose elastomer. It has wide chemical resistance and superior performance, especially in high-temperature applications in different media.
18 4.1.4.3.5 Fluoroelastomers are categorized under ASTM D1418 & ISO 1629 and can be used for temperatures below 0°C.
4.1.4.3.6 The pump manufacturer shall be consulted regarding which elastomer is best for the given application.
4.1.4.3.7 Durometer of the elastomer shall be checked by the manufacturer to ensure that the hardness does not exceed 78 on the Shore Instrument “A” scale.
4.1.4.4 Quality procedures. Manufacturers shall document the quality procedures for the manufacture of the stators, including the type, batch number, date that the elastomer compound was created, injection pressures and temperatures, curing temperatures, and the date of manufacture.
4.1.4.5 Manufactured date. Manufacturer shall put a manufactured date on each stator.
4.1.4.5.1 No stator shall be used that is older than three years from the date of manufacture.
Sec. 4.2 Pump Design
4.2.1 General requirements. Pump selection shall consider the required flow and differential pressure.
4.2.1.1 Required flow. The purchaser shall provide maximum and minimum flows along with the expected pressures at both points.
4.2.1.1.1 Pressure shall be limited to below 30 psi or 2 bar per stage.
4.2.1.2 Volumetric efficiency. The pump shall have a minimum volumetric efficiency of 75 percent.
4.2.1.3 Over-pressure protection. Pump shall have a cut-off pressure switch or similar over-pressure protection.
4.2.1.4 NPSHA. NPSHA shall exceed the selected pump’s NPSHR at the maximum design flow rate.
4.2.1.5 Pump maximum rpm. Progressive cavity chemical metering pumps shall exert 100 s of shear per 100 rpm and shall operate at a maximum of 700 rpm.
–1
4.2.1.6 Rotor and stator geometry (Figure 2).
4.2.1.7 Rotor and stator pitch length. Longer-pitch elements will have a slightly higher NPSHR.
4.2.1.7.1 Longer-pitch pumping designs have a lower shear rate and are advantageous for shear-sensitive materials, such as some polymeric flocculants.
19 4.2.1.7.2 The cavity is adapted by making the length of both the rotor and stator helix pitch longer, and the diameter of the rotor is thereby proportionately reduced.
4.2.2 Fluid properties. Viscosity and temperature affect maximum pump rotational speed and capacity.
4.2.2.1 Viscosity. Pump manufacturer shall provide a curve where the viscosity is measured against the shear rate in s.
–1
4.2.2.1.1 If required in the purchase documents, the manufacturer shall run an apparent viscosity test of the feed material.
4.2.2.1.2 Pumps with rigid stators shall be used for pumping clean fluids where the fluid viscosity exceeds 200 cP.
4.2.2.1.3 Apparent viscosity shall determine the volumetric efficiency and the amount of slip experienced by the pump.
4.2.3 Pressure capacity. The pressure capacity of a progressive cavity chemical metering pump shall be determined by the number of “stages” a pump has (Figure 2), as well as the amount of compression and the hardness of the elastomer employed.
4.2.3.1 Stages. A two-stage pump has twice the pressure capacity of a single-stage pump, and a three-stage pump has three times the pressure capacity of a single-stage pump with compression and the hardness of the elastomer being unchanged (Figure 3).

Figure 3 The number of stages determines the pressure capacity of a progressing cavity pump
20 4.2.4 Differential pressure. Differential pressure is the total “head” being overcome by the pump.
4.2.4.1 Differential pressure includes the static discharge head plus or minus the static suction head (add with negative suction; subtract when there is a positive suction head) and the pressure “drop” across associated piping and piping components, including valves, over-pressure protection, in-line mixers, spray nozzles, and checking devices.
4.2.4.2 Maximum differential pressure. Maximum recommended differential pressure is 80–90 psi for a single-stage rotor and stator pumping clean fluids.
4.2.4.3 Abrasive fluids. Allowable differential pressure shall be reduced for abrasive fluids.
4.2.4.3.1 More stages shall be required for abrasive fluids with a drop in mechanical efficiency and an increase in longevity or mean time between failure of the pump.
4.2.4.4 Low differential pressures. At low differential pressures (approximately 30 psi or 2 bar) per stage, slip is practically negligible.
4.2.5 Performance data. Performance shall be measured from the suction to the discharge.
4.2.5.1 Accuracy. Progressive cavity chemical metering pumps in metering applications are as accurate as the drive system being used. Supplier shall provide documentation detailing the accuracy of the drive when required in the purchase documents.
4.2.5.1.1 If the user wants a 100 : 1 turn down with a maximum frequency of 60 Hz, then the low speed of the motor is 12 rpm, but the speed may vary from 0 to 24 rpm by the manufacturer’s statement.
4.2.5.1.2 Motors slip; smaller motors with a NEMA type “D” performance, so-called high torque motors, can slip by over 100 rpm at full load.
4.2.5.2 Manufacturer shall provide compliance with ISO 9001:2008, NSF/ANSI 61, 3-A, and API STD 676 recognized quality and/or conformance system.
4.2.5.3 Load. Load is determined by torque, and torque in the motor is directly proportional to pressure on the pump.
4.2.5.4 Operating speed. Operating speed is determined by voltage in a direct current motor; if precise speed and flow rates are required, an isolation transformer or line reactors shall be installed in the circuit to protect the system from voltage fluctuations that are common in commercial alternate current (AC) supply lines.
21 4.2.5.5 Slip. Slip shall be kept to <25 percent of the flow.
4.2.5.6 Velocity. Velocity is the rpm times the circumference of the rotor diameter.
4.2.6 Power requirements. Variable speed drives shall be used with metering pumps.
4.2.6.1 Flow. Maximum and minimum flows shall be used to determine the type of drive and how it is operated. The flow requirements may dictate use of a variable speed drive and reduction gearing. This allows the motor to run above minimum speed while the rotor speed is reduced at very low feed rates.
4.2.6.2 Performance point. The critical performance point for the drive system is at the minimum speed and flow at full-rated discharge pressure.
4.2.6.3 Variable frequency drives (VFDs). VFDs shall specify the maximum and minimum allowable operating frequency.
4.2.6.3.1 VFD-rated induction motors shall be operated at <200 Hz.
4.2.6.3.2 VFD-operated motors shall have thermal protection that is wired into an inhibit function in the VFD.
4.2.6.3.3 If the motor is expected to operate at speeds of less than 5 Hz (100 rpm), a constant speed external ventilation blower shall be part of the drive motor.
4.2.6.4 Direct current (DC) motors. DC motors can be used and are economical in the fractional horsepower sizes.
4.2.6.4.1 DC motors have more starting torque than AC motors and do not require additional cooling at low speeds.
4.2.6.4.2 Fluctuation in AC line voltage will be transferred to the DC voltage even after it is rectified.
4.2.6.5 Feedback loop. If a user wants predictable performance, a feedback loop in the VFD/motor package is needed.
4.2.6.5.1 Feedback can be achieved either with an encoder on the motor that will ensure that the rpm is constant under varying loads or with a vector drive that has an internal feedback that can hold speed despite varying loads.
4.2.7 Equal-walled stators. Equal-walled stators have a helical tube that matches the internal helix of the stator.
4.2.7.1 Layer of rubber. Equal-walled stators have a layer of rubber that is even or equal through the entire length of the stator.
22 4.2.7.2 Rated pressure. Even or equal wall stators are rated for double the pressure of a cylindrical stator and have a flatter performance curve, less slip, and a higher volumetric efficiency and mechanical efficiency.
4.2.7.2.1 Equal-walled stators are rated for 180 psi (12 bar) per stage and are exceptional for metering applications with varying operating temperatures.
4.2.8 Cylindrical stators. Cylindrical stators have rubber sections that are thick in one axis (the “X” dimension) and thin in the opposing 90° plane (the “Y” dimension).
4.2.8.1 Since there is more rubber on the “X,” that plane flexes more and is the limiting factor for the generation of pressure in the system.
4.2.9 Flanges. Flanges shall be supplied with flange dimensions conforming to ASME B16.1 Class 125 gray iron or ASME B16.5 Class 150 stainless steel, including bolt circle, number, and size of bolt holes.
4.2.9.1 Dimensions. Flanges 12 in. (305 mm) and smaller subject to a pressure exceeding 200 psig (1,379 kPa) and flanges larger than 14 in. (356 mm) subject to a pressure exceeding 150 psig (1,034 kPa) shall conform to ASME B16.1, Class 250 gray iron dimensions.
4.2.9.2 Steel flanges. Steel flanges for suction and discharge shall conform to ANSI/AWWA C207.
4.2.9.2.1 Flange class shall be suitable for continuous service at the maximum required pressure rating.
4.2.10 Exterior coatings. Ferrous surfaces (except stainless steel) shall receive a factory-applied coating, while other surfaces shall not be coated. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)) applications must have all ferrous metals coated with a two-part epoxy. This includes electric motors, gear reducers, coupling guards, adapters, and baseplates.

4.2.10.1 Surfaces not in contact with water. Unless otherwise required in the purchase documents, surfaces not in contact with the water shall be primed with one coat of paint to a minimum dry film thickness of 3 mils.
4.2.10.2 Field top-coatings. The paint coating shall be compatible with the field top-coatings when the field coatings are identified in the purchase documents.
4.2.10.3 Surface preparation. Surfaces to be coated shall be cleaned and descaled either chemically or mechanically prior to coating.
4.2.10.3.1 The cleaning and surface preparation shall meet or exceed the coating manufacturer’s requirements for the selected coating.
23 4.2.10.3.2 Exterior surfaces not in contact with the water surfaces shall be cleaned to meet the requirements of SSPC–SP 6.
4.2.10.3.3 Other surfaces shall be cleaned to meet the requirements of SSPC–SP 10.
4.2.10.3.4 Coatings shall be applied after hydrostatic testing for leakage and at such a time that subsequent welding and assembly procedures will not damage the coating.
4.2.10.4 Noncoated surfaces. Surfaces not to be coated or cleaned shall be protected from contamination and damage.
4.2.10.4.1 Metalwork shall not be welded after coating unless the coating can be inspected and repaired.
4.2.11 Holiday testing. When required in the purchase documents, the coated surfaces of the pump shall be holiday tested and shall be holiday free in accordance with ANSI/AWWA C550.
4.2.12Data sheet. Manufacturer shall provide an application data sheet similar to that found in Appendix A.

4.2.13 Run-dry protection. Because of the compression fit between the rotor and stator, progressive cavity pumps can be damaged by running dry. Run-dry damage may occur in a few minutes when nonlubricating liquids such as a lime solution, a magnesium hydroxide slurry, or deionized water have been used. When pumping lubricating materials such as polymer flocculants or glycerin, the pumps may run for several hours without any damage.
4.2.13.1 Protection. Various devices are available to protect against the pump running dry. Preferred device shall be defined in the purchase documents.
4.2.13.2 Thermal sensing. Thermal sensing elements can be placed in the stator to measure heat caused by the lack of lubrication between the rotor and the stator.
4.2.13.3 Presence or absence detectors. Presence or absence detectors can be placed in the suction line before the pump.
4.2.13.3.1 These devices operate on the capacitance of the liquid, heat dissipation, or a change in the vibrating frequency of a probe.
4.2.13.4 Low flow alarm and loop flow control can be provided with a mass flow meter (nonconductive) or magnetic meter (conductive) and a programmable logic controller.
4.2.13.4.1 If flow is not present for a programmed given time, the pump stops and alerts the operator.

24 4.2.13.4.2 The pump rpm will not require special motors to ensure the metering rate.
4.2.13.4.3 RPM can be monitored for a given flow rate, and pump wear and performance can be monitored.
4.2.13.5 Reliability. Reliable operation shall include a method for recognizing a run-dry condition.
4.2.14 Lubrication. When a compression fit is used between the rotor and stator in a progressive cavity, the elastomer stator needs to be lubricated and cooled by the liquid passing through the pump.
4.2.14.1 Run dry. Allowing the elastomer to run dry will result in heat buildup and cause it to further cure or “vulcanize,” resulting in a loss of elasticity.
4.2.14.1.1 For suction lift applications, it is advisable to install a check valve or foot valve to prevent draining of liquid between pump cycles back to the source.
4.2.14.1.2 If fouling of a “checking” device is a concern, a “goose neck” can be installed in the suction line to ensure that liquid is always in the pump before it is placed into service and starts to form a vacuum.
4.2.14.1.3 It is advisable to install a low-supply-level switch to ensure that there is always liquid in the pump.
SECTION 5: VERIFICATION
