Control Of Flow Cycles In An Ion Exchange Desalination Pilot Plant Using Labviewtm
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents an algorithm and a program implementation for real time control of flow cycles in an ion exchange desalination pilot plant using a personal computer and LabVIEW as driver software. The pilot plant and the control systems are designed, developed and implemented by students for the purpose of student education and research using recent computer and control technologies. Hardware and software components of the control systems are described and discussed. The relevant LabVIEWw code is presented. The program fully automates the operation of the plant. The implementation is inexpensive, safe, reliable and stable and may be replicated in other educational environments.

Enhanced water desalination efficiency in an air-cathode stacked microbial electrodeionization cell (SMEDIC)
A microbial desalination cell was developed that contained a stack of membranes packed with ion exchange resins between the membranes to reduce ohmic resistances and improve performance. This new configuration, called a stacked microbial electro-deionization cell (SMEDIC), was compared to a control reactor (SMDC) lacking the resins. The SMEDICþS reactors contained both a spacer and 1.470.2 mL o...

متن کاملHow Operational Parameters and Membrane Characteristics Affect the Performance of Electrodialysis Reversal Desalination Systems: The State of the Art*
Operating parameters and membrane characteristics strongly affect the performance of electrodialysis reversal systems. The most impactful factors are applied voltage, flow rate, temperature, initial feed composition, and ion exchange membrane characteristics; the pH of the feed also has an effect, although to a lesser extent. To determine more precisely how all of these factors impact performan...
