Precision Reciprocating Pumps for High-Pressure Chemical Dosing
NND Oil & Gas manufactures Plunger Type Metering / Dosing Pumps designed for accurate, repeatable injection of chemicals and process fluids at high pressure. Built on a reciprocating positive displacement design, these pumps are engineered to deliver consistent dosing accuracy even under demanding pressure and temperature conditions found in oil & gas, petrochemical, fertilizer, and other process industries.
Plunger pumps share several design characteristics with diaphragm and piston-type pumps, making them suitable for many of the same applications. What sets them apart is their ability to generate significantly higher discharge pressures, making them the preferred choice wherever high-pressure injection is required. As with all reciprocating pumps, slight pressure pulsation is inherent to the design and can be managed effectively using pulsation dampeners and accessories.
How It Works
A plunger metering pump operates by drawing process fluid into a pumping chamber and displacing it through reciprocating motion of a precision-machined plunger. This positive displacement action ensures a fixed volume of fluid is delivered with each stroke, allowing for highly accurate and repeatable dosing rates. The stroke length and/or speed can be adjusted to vary output flow without compromising accuracy, making the pump ideal for applications where precise chemical dosing directly impacts process quality, safety, or compliance.

Frequently asked questions
Both are positive displacement pumps used for dosing, but plunger pumps can generate significantly higher discharge pressures than diaphragm pumps. They are preferred for applications where high-pressure injection is the primary requirement, while diaphragm pumps offer a hermetically sealed, leak-free design suited for hazardous or toxic fluids.
Plunger metering pumps are suitable for a wide range of fluids including corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, methanol, acids, alkalis, and other process chemicals — from low-viscosity liquids to moderately viscous fluids. Material of construction is selected based on fluid compatibility.
Yes. Flow rate can be adjusted by varying the stroke length, stroke speed, or both. Control can be manual or fully automated via pneumatic, electric, or electronic actuators, variable speed drives, or PLC-based systems, without compromising dosing accuracy.
Plunger metering pumps are widely used in oil & gas production, upstream and midstream chemical injection, petrochemical and refinery processes, fertilizer plants, water treatment, and boiler feed chemical dosing — anywhere precise, high-pressure, continuous chemical injection is required.
