Important notes for incorporation in injection systems:
1) Incorporate the Citri-Fi in the brine solution so that there is no or minimal Citri-Fi lumps to begin with in the brine, which either means a) mixing with Citri-Fi with dry ingredients first then mixing into the brine, b) mixing the Citri-Fi with oil first, then into the brine, and/or c) using high shear to remove any clumps.
2) Do not use a level of Citri-Fi in the brine that is so high that the mixture gets too thick so that it does not flow through the system.
3) If Citri-Fi settles out of the brine solution, continuous agitation may be needed in the brine tanks to avoid agglomeration problems.
