Antiscalant:
Vitec 1000 is a liquid antiscalant designed to inhibit scale in cellulose acetate and thinfilm membrane separation systems. This formulation contains a 44% by weight solution of polyacrylic acid that has a tight molecular weight range of 2000. Vitec 1000 can be injected neat of
diluted.
Vitec 2000 is a proprietary liquid antiscalant designed to inhibit scale and disperse colloidal particles in membrane separation systems.
Vitec 3000 is a proprietary liquid antiscalant/dispersant designed to inhibit scale and disperse colloidal particles in membrane separation systems. The quality of this formulation is its compatibility with organic coagulants, which may be present indirectly in municipal feed waters or directly as a result of coagulation or flocculation treatments upstream of the reverse osmosis (RO) systems.
Vitec 5000
is a proprietary liquid antiscalant/dispersant designed to inhibit scale and disperse colloidal particles in membrane separation systems. This formulation is also compatible with organic coagulants. Low application rates of Vitec 5000 are required to keep large amounts of scalants in
solution.
Antiscalants/Dispersants and Silica Inhibitor:
Vitec 4000 is a proprietary liquid antiscalant designed to inhibit silica and other scales and disperse colloidal particles in membrane separation systems. This formulation is unique in that it inhibits silica scaling at higher concentrations than typical
antiscalants. This feature allows for increased RO system recoveries in feedwaters containing high level of
silica. It retains its performance even in RO concentrate streams containing up to 4 ppm of ferrous iron.
