Defining the Feed Water Composition for UF
There are three ways to specify water compositions in WAVE for UF.
WAVE does not require a complete feed water composition to model UF. However, there are a few points to keep in mind:
- If no ions are specified in the feed water composition, WAVE would ask for mineral acid and alkali doses for CEB and CIP in mg/L. However, if the composition of even a few ions are specified, WAVE would request mineral acid and alkali doses in terms of target pH values.
- If there are RO or IX processes downstream of the UF process, then WAVE would ask for a charge-balanced feed water composition.
