A reverse osmosis (RO) plant is a water treatment facility that uses reverse osmosis, to remove hazardous chemicals and contaminants from water or treated wastewater. The reverse osmosis process cleans or desalinates contaminated water, creating demineralized and clear water, suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Are there some software’s available to calculate RO Plant capacity? Let’s find it out in this blog!

GPD calculation and determination in commercial RO plants

The phrase "gallons per day" or GPD refers to the amount of water that a RO membrane can filter, in a single day or the estimated output of reverse osmosis plants. A gallon is approximately 3.78 litres.

A variety of factors influence this production:

Among these are inlet water pressure, water temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), prefilter quality, and other variables.

The approximate purifying capabilities of RO membranes based on their GPD values:

1. A 75 GPD RO membrane can purify up to 10 to 12 litres per hour.

2. Up to 12 to 15 litres per hour purification can be done with an 80 GPD RO membrane.

Software for calculating RO Plant capacity

Water treatment frequently necessitates the use of more than one method, to attain the required quality. Most water-treatment plant design software does not allow you to optimize multiple-technology systems, necessitating the use of different software and more of your time for setup and management.

A software called as Water Application Value Engine (WAVE) is the industry's first free modelling software package, which fully integrates leading technologies — ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), and ion exchange (IX). It streamlines the design process and, as a result, helps reduce the time required to manage your water-treatment system.

WAVE is an integrated expert modelling program for water-treatment plant design, including wastewater-treatment plant design, which has the following capabilities:

· Three technologies are used in a flexible design, with multiple-unit operating combinations, and the opportunity to set system-feed or net-product flow rate.

· A strong computation engine capable of running complex designs with excellent accuracy.

· Improved interface and water-equilibrium calculations.

· True mass-balance volumes and flows that account for density variations, caused by temperature, water composition, and water compressibility.

· Consistent hydraulic limitations and regeneration parameters that represent best practices, and product performance and application at the cutting edge.

·  Most parameters have default values, allowing you (or your designer), to rapidly construct a design.

·  The ability to include project-specific information, in order to improve the accuracy of operating-cost calculations.

WAVE software technical requirements

· Windows Installer 3.1 or above is required

· Client for the Microsoft.NET Framework 4.0

· SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 or above is required

If one or more of the above needs are missing, they will be installed alongside the WAVE installation process (Setup.exe).

Hardware specifications for WAVE software

· Disk space requirement: 120 MB (for WAVE application)

· 50 MB (.Net Framework Client Profile)

1 Operating system from these

· Service Pack 3 for Windows XP

· Microsoft Windows Server 2008

· Microsoft Windows Vista

· Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise, Home Premium, or Home Basic

· Windows 10
