Defining the Equipment

WAVE allows the user to specify additional information regarding equipment settings in the Equipment Window (as shown in Figure 1). The following parameters can be specified:

  1. Typical pressure drop of internal distributors
  2. Typical pressure drop of external piping
  3. Effluent pressure
  4. Bulk chemical storage tank temperature

In the case of IXMB and IXCP processes, if external regeneration is selected, WAVE will display the External Regeneration and Other Equipment Window instead of the Equipment Window and, in addition to the Equipment Setting options, the External Regeneration Equipment Setting options (i.e. Backwash Tower Diameter, SAC Regeneration Vessel Diameter, and SBA Regeneration Vessel Diameter) will be displayed (see Figure 2).
