Description
A computer program was developed to simulate and optimize the chemical pretreatment of seawater prior to desalination by reverse osmosis. The model was created using LabViewRTM programming language. The automation of the process was achieved using a PID (proportional, integrative, derivative) controller. The effects of a variety of operating conditions were modeled to optimize the chemical pretreatment. We focused on three parameters: hardness removal, iron removal and control of biogrowth. The validity of the model was verified with laboratory scale experiments. In the range of the model, the predicted values differ by a maximum of 11% from experimental results.
