MSF21VTE21. Desalination Plant Optimization
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
MSF21 and VTE21 perform design and costing calculations for multistage flash evaporator (MSF) and multieffect vertical tube evaporator (VTE) desalination plants. An optimization capability is available, if desired. The MSF plant consists of a recovery section, reject section, brine heater, and associated buildings and equipment. Operating costs and direct and indirect capital costs for plant, buildings, site, and intakes are calculated. Computations are based on the first and last stages of each section and a typical middle recovery stage. As a result, the program runs rapidly but does not give stage by stage parameters. The VTE plant consists of vertical tube effects, multistage flash preheater, condenser, and brine heater and associated buildings and equipment. Design computations are done for each vertical tube effect, but preheater computations are based on the first and last stages and a typical middle stage.

- Other Information: DN: Programs MSF21 and VTE21 are packaged together because they have many subprograms in common. The type of plant to be calculated is specified in the input data. Subroutines MAINM, PLANTM, SIZEM, COSTM, and RITEM are specific to program MSF21. Subroutines MAINV, PLANTV, SIZEV, COSTV, RITEV, and UVE are specific to program VTE21. If only one type of plant is to be calculated, the amount of storage required by the program can be reduced by omitting unnecessary subroutines. When subroutines MAINM or MAINV are omitted, dummy subroutines should be substituted or the statements calling the missing subroutine deleted.; PBD: 1 Oct 1978
