Optimization of Desalination Systems with Detailed Water Chemistry

Ilayda Akkor's dataset, last updated on 2026-04-24, presents an integration method for chemical modeling in desalination process optimization. It describes the use of the Reaktoro-PSE package to incorporate detailed water chemistry into the WaterTAP techno-economic assessment platform. The dataset likely contains results validating this approach and demonstrating its use in cost-optimization problems for different feedwater compositions and chemical combinations.

Use Cases

• Validating implicit function formulations for integrating thermodynamic models into process optimization based on the described methodology.
• Optimizing chemical dosing (e.g., lime, soda ash, HCl, H2SO4) in desalination pretreatment steps based on the described cost-optimization problem.
• Exploring the impact of different feedwater compositions on desalination system performance and costs based on the described flexibility.
• Comparing surrogate-based and equation-oriented modeling approaches for chemical integration in process models as discussed in the description.

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed methodology for integrating chemical modeling (Reaktoro) into a process optimization platform (WaterTAP).
• The work validates results against previously established surrogate models, suggesting a level of methodological rigor.
• The dataset is small (4.6 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's specific contents (e.g., optimization results, model parameters) must be inferred from the description after download.
• The dataset is under a CC-BY-NC-4.0 license, which restricts commercial use.
