Vitec 5000 is a blended formulation, which is a highly effective

Vitec 5000
threshold scale inhibitor. Low application rates of Vitec 5000 are
required to keep large amounts of scalants in solution. Vitec 5000 is
primarily used to control scale precipitates and reduce Inorganic and
colloidal fouling in spiral and hollow fine fibre membranes.

Performance Dosing:

Vitec 5000 antiscalant offers a variety of Establishing the most efficient dose rate is
