In today's world of low cost personal computers and advanced software
combined with knowledge of mathematical modeling MSF plant operation i
t is relatively simple and essential to develop a computer operational
simulation program for any large desalination system. Such a computer
program provides the following benefits: It's FUN and inexpensive. It
will aid in finalizing the design and optimization. It will determine
operating costs at any set of variable input parameters. It can be us
ed to determine the overall algorithm for operating costs and establis
h set-point parameters for operating conditions.
