Water • Desalination

Desalination Engineering Tools

Model a whole desalination plant with the Plant Designer — one ordered chain of unit operations from intake to product and waste, with plant water and salt balance checks — and explore the RO process tools that feed its stages.

Small & Modular Desalination Sizing

Size a small or modular desalination plant from a demand basis forward: community population to product flow, then feed and concentrate by the plant mass balance, then membrane area, vessels and staging. Composes engines that already exist; chooses no recovery, staging ratio, flux or package envelope.

No new formula: composes calculateWaterDemand → analyzePlantMassBalance → buildRoArray → buildModularPackageScope. Feed = product ÷ recovery; area = permeate ÷ design flux; vessels = area ÷ element area × elements per vessel.

Desalination Plant Designer

Compose a whole desalination plant as an ordered chain of unit operations from raw intake to product and waste: design basis, stage recoveries and make-up, whole-plant water and salt balance checks, and concentrate TDS derived by salt conservation — every value labelled input, derived or missing.

plant recovery = final product / raw intake · stage product = feed × recovery/100 · concentrate TDS: Qw·Cw = Qf·Cf − Qp·Cp · membrane product TDS: Cp = Cf × (1 − R/100)
