The simulation of hydraulic behaviour and desalination processes is a key step toward optimizing water use in both industrial and urban settings.
WATER SOLUTIONS is a set of tools developed to analyse the behaviour of incompressible fluids under both normal and emergency conditions. Built on the EcosimPro simulation platform by Empresarios Agrupados Internacional (EAI), these tools enable engineers and operators to model complex water systems with a high degree of accuracy—covering everything from control systems and pressure surges to reverse osmosis and chemical treatment.
The tools that compose WATER SOLUTIONS cover the simulation of transient hydraulic events such as water hammer, the operation of control systems and the performance of steady hydraulic simulations. It supports the modelling of RO desalination components like membranes and pressure exchangers, and allows for detailed simulations of pre-treatment processes using chemical dosing pumps (e.g., sulphuric acid or iron chloride).
WATER SOLUTIONS brings a powerful, simulation-driven approach to the design and optimization of water treatment and distribution systems, helping engineers make better-informed, data-backed decisions.
The objective is to study the operation of the HF turbo pump
The study focuses on analyzing the thermo-hydraulic behavior of the downcomer pipe and verifying the specifications of the associated control valves. It also evaluates the control strategy under varying flow and temperature conditions, including a switch to cloud-based temperature control. Additional scenarios include system trips caused by excessive output temperature in one of the receiver circuits or due to unreliable flow sensor data. These cases are used to assess system resilience and control performance.
In this model, sea water is pumped from the sea to the pre-treatment section.
The pre-treatment consists on the chemical addition and the filtration using a sand filter and a cartridge filter. The logic of the pre-treatment section is controlled using a PLC.
Next, the water is pumped to a RO membranes train. Permeate is then pumped to the second pass which consists on a pump and a rack of pressure vessels.
Finally, the permeate flow is carried to a storage tanks. A second PLC embraces the logic for the control of filtering section.
