Modeling tool facilitates water-treatment design and operation
The Water Application Value Engine (WAVE) is a new digital modeling tool that is designed to simplify and accelerate the modeling of components, evaluate new and retrofit system designs, and plan construction of water-treatment systems. The innovative modeling software combines an integrated software program with the three components — ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and ion exchange. By using the software’s hydraulic-modeling calculation engine from pretreatment to final polishing, users reduce data-entry steps (and thus the risk of error during calculation and data re-entry from one calculation tool to another) and ultimately save time modeling water-treatment components being evaluated as part of the system design, says the manufacturer. — Dow Water & Process Solutions, Houston
