16.2: Vitec
Vitec® 1000
- A liquid antiscalant designed to inhibit scale in cellulose acetate and polyamide membrane separation systems.
- The formulation contains a 35% by weight solution of polyacrylic acid that has a tight molecular weight range of 2000.
- This product is designed for use in waters that do not have a high potential for colloidal and silt fouling of RO membrane surfaces (i.e. groundwater applications).
- Vitec 1000 can be injected neat or diluted and a site-specific. Vitec 1000 has been certified by the NSF International under ANSI/NSF Standard 60 for use in systems producing drinking water.
Vitec® 2000
- A proprietary liquid antiscalant/dispersant designed to inhibit scale and disperse colloidal particles in cellulose acetate and polyamide membrane separation systems.
- This product can be injected neat or diluted and used in a wide array of feed water sources including surface or well waters.
Vitec® 3000
- A proprietary liquid antiscalant/dispersant designed to inhibit scale and disperse colloidal particles in cellulose acetate and polyamide membrane separation systems.
- This formulation is compatible with organic coagulants which may be indirectly present in municipal feed waters or directly present as a result of coagulation or flocculation treatments upstream of the reverse osmosis system.
- It can be injected neat or diluted and used in a wide array of feed water sources
- Vitec 3000 has been approved for use in systems producing drinking water by the UK Drinking Water Inspectorate and by NSF International under NSF/ANSI Standard 60.
Vitec® 4000
- A proprietary liquid antiscalant designed to inhibit silica, sulfate, and carbonate scales and disperse colloidal particles in cellulose acetate and polyamide membrane separation systems.
- This formulation is unique in that it inhibits silica scaling at higher concentrations than typical antiscalants, a feature which may allow significantly increased RO system recovery in high silica feed waters.
- Retains its performance even in RO concentrate streams containing up to 4 ppm of ferrous iron.
- Vitec 4000 has been approved for use in systems producing drinking water by the UK Drinking Water Inspectorate and by NSF International under NSF/ANSI Standard 60
