Vitec® 3000

Summary

Product identification

Vitec® 3000 is a liquid antiscalant and dispersant compatible with organic coagulants. It is designed for reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane systems.

Applications include:

• Preventing scale precipitation and dispersing colloidal particles in cellulose acetate and polyamide membrane systems.
• Use in seawater and brackish water for potable and industrial water production.
• Approved for use in systems producing drinking water in the UK (conforming to DIN 15040) and by NSF International under NSF/ANSI Standard 60.

Operating limits

Feed water

• Effective in a wide variety of feedwaters and pH ranges.
• Effective against scale including Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃), Calcium Sulfate (CaSO₄), Barium Sulfate (BaSO₄), Strontium Sulfate (SrSO₄), Calcium Fluoride (CaF₂), and Silica (SiO₂).
• Features crystal modification to distort inorganic salt crystal growth and reduce fouling.

Instructions for Use

Injection

• Inject downstream of multimedia filters and upstream of cartridge filters for best results.

Dosing

• Typical dose ranges from 2-5 mg/l.
• Site-specific doses can be determined using the Avista Advisor software program.

Dilution

• Formulated for neat injection.
• If dilution is required, use deionized (DI) water or RO permeate. Softened water may be used if DI or RO permeate is unavailable.
• Dilution should not result in a solution strength of less than 1%.
• DI-quality water must be used for dilutions below 10%. This protects the internal bacteriostat.
