    Avista Technologies offers an array of technical and support services

    which can be effective tools in understanding and improving the


    performance of reverse osmosis membranes. These include:

    Laboratory Services:

    * Water Analysis: With half a gallon (2 liters) of RO feedwater, this test


    provides the cation and anion data necessary to obtain an accurate and site
    specific antiscalant recommendation.

    * Foulant Identification: This analysis requires a membrane leaf which is


    examined to determine the nature of any foulants present and their effect on
    the membrane. Potential foulants can include scale, biological matter,
    metals, etc.

    * Coagulant Recommendation and Dose: Requires a minimum of five


    gallons (20 liters) of the feedwater to the multimedia or sand filter. From
    this, the optimum RoQuest coagulant and dosage is determined. This
    provides the most efficient and cost effective coagulation within the filter.

    * Flocculant Recommendation and Dose: A minimum five gallon (20 liter)


    sample of the feedwater to the clarifier/flocculator is sent to Avista and used
    by our personnel to complete a jar test procedure. The results determine the
    type and specific dose of the most effective RoQuest coagulant/flocculant for
    that application.

    Membrane Autopsy:
    The physical dissection of an RO membrane and the laboratory analysis of its
    foulants can be one of the most definitive methods of troubleshooting an RO
    system. An Avista autopsy includes a wide range of procedures, as shown USA
    below, and concludes with our summary and recommendations: Avista Technologies Inc.
