Dosing procedures are also in vogue in textile and similar industries where chemical treatment is involved. In a power station treatment chemicals are injected or fed to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler boiler] and also to feed and make up water under [[pressure]], but in small dosages or rate of injection. The feeding at all places is done by means of small capacity dosing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump pumps] specially designed for the [[duty]] demanded.
