Train Configuration
The Train Configuration section of the IX Initialization window allows the user to specify the number of trains Online and in Standby.
In the case of no Standby trains, the following selection should be made (as shown in Figure 1):
- Use Feed Water flow as system daily average: this means that IX operating flow will be higher than the specified, as some time for regeneration is required.
- Use Feed Water flow for vessel design: this means that IX daily average flow will be smaller than the specified, as some time for regeneration is required.
Note: In multicomponent designs, if there are no Standby trains, the only available option will be “Use Feed Water flow as system daily average”. Therefore, the IX operating flow will be higher than the specified, as some time for regeneration is required.
In case that a standby train is used, input flow would equal the operating flow.
If desired, certain percentage of feed flow could also bypass the mix bed. This is shown Figure 2
