h2integrate.simulation.technologies.hydrogen.desal.desal_model_eco#
- Description: This file already contains a desal model, but we need an estimate of the desal unit
size, particularly mass and footprint (m^2)
- Sources:
- [1] Singlitico 2021 (use this as a jumping off point, I think there may be other good sources
available)
[2] See sources in existing model below and the model itself
- param - electrolyzer_rating:
electrolyzer rating in MW
- type - electrolyzer_rating:
float
- param - input and output values from RO_desal() below:
- param - others may be added as needed:
- Returns (can be from separate functions and/or methods as it makes sense):
mass (float): approximate mass of the desalination system (kg or metric tons)
footprint (float): approximate area required for the desalination system (m^2)
Functions

param: freshwater_kg_per_hr: Maximum freshwater requirements of system [kg/hr] |
- h2integrate.simulation.technologies.hydrogen.desal.desal_model_eco.RO_desal_eco(freshwater_kg_per_hr, salinity)#
param: freshwater_kg_per_hr: Maximum freshwater requirements of system [kg/hr]
param: salinity: (str) "Seawater" >18,000 ppm or "Brackish" <18,000 ppm
output: feedwater_m3_per_hr: feedwater flow rate [m^3/hr]
output: desal_power: reqired power [kW]
output: desal_capex: Capital cost [USD]
output: desal_opex: OPEX (USD/yr)
A desal system capacity is given as desired freshwater flow rate [m^3/hr]
