TECH PAPER
Much of the software currently being used in industry suffers many of the same issues.
They use simple indices and were not designed for today's stressed conditions.
hyd-RO-dose overcomes these ailments, upgrading historically used software on virtually every level.
CUSTOMIZATION
INTRODUCING hyd-RO-dose™
A software tool that models reverse osmosis
water for scale, then finds the optimal dosages of chemical
inhibitors necessary for optimal recovery.
hyd-RO-dose is powered by a sophisticated ion association model tuned to reverse osmosis systems.
This model is complex enough to make a PhD chemist proud, yet the interface and results are in a form easily entered and interpreted by a 101 level University student.
FEATURES
COMPLETE CHEMISTRY REPORTS

Follow your RO water chemistry over broad or narrow ranges of parameters (pH, scale saturation levels for dozens of scales, temperature, etc.)
EASY TO FOLLOW VISUAL AIDS

hyd-RO-dose's outputs are simple to interpret. Color coded 2D & 3D graphs aid in quickly interpreting results and also easily sharing them.
At a quick glance see where scale forms without treatment. Then see how far acid feed or different inhibitors/blends of inhibitors can extend your safe operating range.
The
basis for other software's calculations are simple indices such as
Langelier and Ryznar. Though these indices are helpful at
times, they lack the calculation power for sturdy, reproducible
scale prediction.
hyd-RO-dose uses an ion association model placed into a highly useable and intuitive software interface. Ion association models account for ion pairing and common ion effects - using free ion effects for index calculations.
In simple terms, it's the most advanced model available, used and trusted by the world's largest chemical treatment companies.
OTHER INNVOATIONS
Corrects alkalinity for non-carbonate contributions.
Calculations based on free ion concentrations calculated using 121 ion pairs.
Models pH and acid requirements differently for "closed" and "open systems" (atmospheric CO2 exchange).
MAXIMIZE RECOVERY
Safely pushing recovery in high TDS waters requires courage...
or advanced physical chemistry modeling.
hyd-RO-dose™ models scale formation for all common scalants found in reverse osmosis systems.
View your chemistry over a wide or narrow range of parameters. See exactly how far you can safely push your RO systems.
Derived from an engineer's water treatment tool used to detect scale formation in North Sea oil wells - it packs plenty of calculation punch and an almost unlimited range for RO.
