The Effluent Quality

WAVE allows the user to specify the desired quality of the produced water. Depending on the IX process the user will be asked to specify:

IX Process

Effluent Quality

Softening

  • Average hardness leakage
  • Hardness end point

Dealkalization

  • Average alkalinity leakage
  • Alkalinity end point

Demineralization

For Cation resin the effluent quality parameters can be specified in two ways:

  • Average sodium leakage (this would be the expected average conductivity at the outlet of the anion vessel)
  • Sodium end point
    or
  • Average conductivity value
  • Conductivity end point
Note:   Only one of the options above should be specified and the other one will be automatically calculated.

For Anion resin specify the effluent quality parameter as

  • Average silica leakage
  • Silica end point

Mixed Bed

For Cation resin the effluent quality parameters can be specified in two ways:

  • Average sodium leakage
  • Sodium end point
    or
  • Average conductivity value (this would be the expected average conductivity at the outlet of the anion vessel)
  • Conductivity end point
Note:   Only one of the options above should be specified and the other one will be automatically calculated.

For Anion resin specify the following effluent quality parameters

  • Average silica leakage
  • Silica end point and
  • Organics removal efficiency: introduce the expected percentage of organics removal.

Condensate Polishing

For Cation resin the effluent quality parameters can be specified in two ways:

  • Average NH4+/NH3 leakage
  • NH4+/NH3 end point
    or
  • Average conductivity value (this would be the expected average conductivity at the outlet of the anion vessel)
  • Conductivity end point
Note:   Only one of the options above should be specified and the other one will be automatically calculated.

For Anion resin specify the effluent quality parameter as

  • Average silica leakage
  • Silica end point
