2021 Sep Release

ProteusLib is an open-source water treatment model library funded by the National Alliance for Water Innovation (https://www.nawihub.org) that is compatible with the IDAES Platform (https://idaes.org), an advanced process systems engineering tool developed by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Documentation is located at https://proteuslib.readthedocs.org/en/0.2.0.

0.2.0 Release Highlights:

  • Reverse osmosis, pressure exchanger, and nanofiltration unit models and seawater and NaCl solution property models
  • Other relevant models for water treatment systems are located in the IDAES repository, including:
    • Separator, mixer, pump, and reactor unit models
    • Electrolyte nonrandom two liquid (eNRTL) property model, and IDAES generic property and reaction models
  • Example flowsheets that use ProteusLib and IDAES models to demonstrate the cost optimization of water treatment trains including:
    • Seawater RO desalination with energy recovery
    • Low salt rejection reverse osmosis
    • High pressure reverse osmosis with pretreatment and gypsum scaling prediction
  • Multiple tests demonstrating the simulation of detailed equilibrium based electrolyte chemical processes including chlorination, phosphorous removal, re-carbonation, remineralization, and softening. These processes are modeled using IDAES generic property and reaction packages.
  • Examples of using the electrolyte nonrandom two liquid (eNRTL) activity coefficient model for determining the pH and the saturation index of gypsum
  • Tools that support parametric and stochastic sensitivity analyses
