Summary
Product identification
- Product Name: Vitec® 5000
- Product Type: Antiscalant Product Datasheet
Performance
Vitec® 5000 antiscalant offers a variety of performance and application benefits:
- Powerful inhibitor against a variety of scales including:
- CaCO₃
- CCPP > 900 (LSI > 2.8)
- CaSO₄ (3.0 x Ksp)
- BaSO₄ (10⁵ x Ksp)
- SrSO₄ (20 x Ksp)
- CaF (1000 x Ksp)
- SiO₂ (120 ppm)
- Highly effective at low dose rates in a wide range of feedwater types and pH ranges.
- Compatible with polyelectrolytes.
- Provides both scale and inorganic fouling control.
- Compatible with all membrane types.
Vitec® 5000 is a liquid antiscalant/dispersant blended to inhibit scale and disperse colloidal particles in cellulose acetate and thin-film membrane separation systems. The formulation has been approved for use in drinking water by the UK Secretary of State. This formulation is compatible with Avista Technologies organic coagulants.
Application
Optimum Vitec 5000 performance is achieved when the chemical is injected upstream of the membrane system and where possible upstream of cartridge filters.
Dosing Guidelines
The typical dosage range is between 2 to 5 ppm. A site-specific dose can be determined using the Avista Advisor computer program. Over or underdosing may cause unnecessary membrane system fouling.
Dilution
If dilution is required, Vitec 5000 should be diluted with demineralized water or RO permeate. If neither of these water sources is available, softened water may be substituted. The dilution for Vitec 5000 should not exceed 10% by weight.
Specifications
- Appearance: Light amber liquid
- pH (10% solution): 2.0 – 3.0
- Specific Gravity @ 20°C: 1.17 ± 0.05
