Applications

Vitec® 4000 is highly effective in diverse applications, including:

  • Municipal Water Treatment
    Keeps reverse osmosis systems operating efficiently in large-scale potable water production.

  • Industrial Use
    Perfect for manufacturing plants, mining operations, and high-recovery water treatment systems.

  • Wastewater Management
    Prevents scale buildup in systems treating effluent or contaminated water.

  • Well Water and Volcanic Regions
    Exceptional for handling high-silica and clay-heavy water sources, without impacting efficiency.

Real-World Success

A mining facility in a volcanic region improved its system recovery rates by 20% using Vitec® 4000, significantly lowering operational costs while reducing silica scaling.

Injection Point:
For maximum effectiveness, inject Vitec® 4000 after multimedia filters and before cartridge filters.


Dosing Guidelines

Standard Dosage

  • Typical usage ranges from 2 to 5 mg/L, depending on feedwater analysis and scaling risks. For precise dosing, utilize the Avista™ Advisor™Ci software or consult with Avista experts.

Dilution Instructions

  • Use neat whenever possible.
  • If dilution is required, use deionized water or RO permeate.
  • Avoid dilutions weaker than 10% to preserve the product's bacteriostat properties.
  • Softened water can be used if deionized or RO permeate is unavailable.

Performance Maximization

Monitor key system parameters, including scaling indexes (LSI) and fouling potential, during use to optimize the product’s results and ensure consistent operation.


Chemical and Physical Properties
