Efficiently calculate key electro-dialysis parameters for water treatment, desalination, and industrial applications. Our free online tool helps determine critical metrics like energy consumption, salt removal rates, and current density, enabling you to optimize process designs and operational costs.
Formula:
Utilize the following fundamental formulas to analyze your electro-dialysis process:
- Energy Consumption (EC): Measures the energy expended per volume of treated diluate.
EC (kWh/m³) = (Vstack × Itotal) / (Qdiluate × 1000)- Where:
Vstack= Total Stack Voltage (Volts)Itotal= Total Current (Amperes)Qdiluate= Diluate Flow Rate (m³/hour)
- Salt Removal Rate (SRR): Quantifies the mass of salt extracted from the feed stream per hour.
SRR (kg/hour) = (Cfeed - Cproduct) × Qdiluate- Where:
Cfeed= Feed Salt Concentration (g/L)Cproduct= Product Salt Concentration (g/L)Qdiluate= Diluate Flow Rate (m³/hour)
- Current Density (CD): Represents the total current flowing through the active membrane area.
CD (A/m²) = Itotal / Amembrane- Where:
Itotal= Total Current (Amperes)Amembrane= Total Active Membrane Area (m²)
