![]() Schematic flowsheet of multi-stage flash distillation. Furthermore, complex functions are established between the optimized operating parameters of multi-stage flash distillation allowing to review trends in flash steps for complete desalination plants. The main additional value of the research lies in the comparison of desalination modelling in widely commercially available computer programs. The simulation results are in accordance with the expectations: MSF has higher yield, but reverse osmosis is simpler process with lower energy demand. It can be stated that both simulators are capable of reducing saline content from 4.5 V/V% to 0.05 V/V%. The calculation of the developed MSF model was verified based on industrial data. ![]() Commercial flowsheet simulator programs were investigated: ChemCAD for thermal desalination and WAVE program for membrane separation. The aim of this study is to model steady-state desalination opportunities of saline process wastewater in flowsheet environment. ![]() The RO, in particular, is difficult to model, because the liquids to be separated also depend specifically on the membrane material. Numerous research works have been published on these separations, however their simulation appears to be difficult due to their complexity, therefore continuous improvement is required. ![]() The two most common desalination methods are multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) and reverse osmosis (RO). Nowadays, there is increasing interest in advanced simulation methods for desalination. ![]()
