Frequently Asked Questions

What devices and browsers support Avista AdvisorCi Online?

  • PC’s and Apple computers running Chrome, Edge, and Safari are compatible.  If using Chrome on a PC, please give the application a few seconds to completely load when making a new projection.
  • iPads are supported but are not recommended due to the high level of input required from the user
  • iPhones and Android devices and Firefox are not supported

Why is the acid or caustic dose 0 when a pH adjustment is made?

  • In order to accurately calculate the amount of acid or caustic needed for a pH adjustment, a feed stream must have bicarbonate and or carbonate in the feed.  If the feed stream has 0 for both, then it cannot calculate the acid or caustic needed.  Adding 10 ppm of bicarbonate will produce a more accurate brine pH and accurate acid or caustic dose.
