Description
Vitec® 5100 from Avista | For seawater desalination or water treatment plants.
Avista Vitec's antifouling agents perform a double function by inhibiting the formation of incrustations and facilitating the dispersion of colloidal particles. These inhibition and dispersion qualities present in Vitec products play a crucial role in the development of the prolong system operation periods, reduce the need for cleaning and extend the life of reverse osmosis components.
The Vitec 5100 product developed by Avista is a full-spectrum liquid scale inhibitor whose compatibility extends to organic coagulants, while exhibiting its high efficacy even when applied at low concentrations.
Its multi-component formulation is aimed at the prevention of scale precipitation from industrial systems and is especially cost-effective in applications in municipal reverse osmosis plants and seawater systems.
Vitec 5100 has been certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 60, which qualifies it for use in potable water generation systems.
The use of the Vitec 5100 scale inhibitor has multiple benefits for your industry. By cleaning scale, water flow is improved and energy consumption is reduced, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity. In addition, by preventing corrosion and deterioration of equipment, equipment life is extended and costly breakdowns and repairs are avoided.
Performance advantages
Vitec 5100 shows effectiveness against a wide range of elements.
What is the proper procedure for using the Vitec 5100?
Injection
Outstanding results are achieved by administering Vitec 5100 scale inhibitor upstream in the membrane system and, whenever feasible, in the filter cartridges.
Dosage
It is advisable to choose the precise amount of Vitec 5100 for each situation, taking into account the quality of the water supplied to the reverse osmosis system, within the typical dosing range of 2 to 5 mg/l.
Dilution
The Vitec 5100 has been designed for pure application. However, if dilution is necessary, it is recommended to use deionized water or reverse osmosis permeate. In situations where these alternatives are not available, the use of water treated with softeners may be considered. It is imperative to ensure that the dilution of the scale inhibitor does not lower the concentration of the solution below 10%, as this is essential to maintain the effectiveness of the integrated bacteriostat, which prevents the growth of bacteria both in the product container and in the feed tank.
