RoQuest 5000 contains a blend of organic coagulants and ferric

RoQuest 5000
sulphate. This product was designed to be used in direct filtration
applications for raw waters contain up to 10 NTU turbidity and colour
units of greater than 10 or for feeds that have been mistreated
chemically (e.g. the under or overfeeding of organic polymers).

Performance Instructions for Use:

RoQuest 5000 provides unique performance and
application benefits:
! Contains more than 9% soluble ferric ion and
less than 0.2% ferrous ion.
! Capable of producing RO quality feedwater
in direct filtration applications (i.e.
multimedia and sand filters).
! Compatible with thin film and cellulose
acetate RO membranes.
! Filter-aid properties resist solids
breakthrough.
! Low dosage requirements.
! Compatible with Avista’s Vitec 3000 & 5000
scale inhibitor.
! Effective over a wide pH range.
If possible, inject RoQuest 5000 at least 5
metres upstream of the multi media filters.
This distance allows proper mixing within
the feed stream before introduction into the
filter. Do not use static mixers ahead of
the filters, as the shear imparted by this
equipment will degrade the polymers
contained in this formulation.
Prior to injection into the feed stream, the
RoQuest 5000 should be diluted at a rate
of 4:1 using dechlorinated water.
Dosing Guidelines :
The typical dosage ranges are between 1 to
25 ppm. Approximately 0.25 ppm of
alkalinity expressed as calcium carbonate
is required per ppm of RoQuest 5000.
Following coagulant addition a minimum
of 25 ppm of residual alkalinity is
required. Over dosing of RoQuest 5000
may cause degradation in the quality of the
filtered water.
