Flow chart for creating a ROSA system design:

1) Product info tab: fill in the appropriate information. 2) Feed tab: select the water classification type. 3) Feed tab: enter feed TDS, or check Specify individual solutes (recommended option) and complete the feed analysis.

6) Scaling tab: choose one of the 3 scaling calculation options. (If TDS was chosen in the Feed tab, scaling calculation is not possible.)

5) Feed tab: enter feed pH.

4) Feed tab: enter feed temperature.

7) Scaling tab: Choose No chemicals added if no pH adjustment needed.

7) Scaling tab: Choose User adjusted pH values if pH adjustment is needed. Enter pH value or concentrate LSI / S&DSI value.

7) Scaling tab: Choose IX softening if feed is softened with ion exchange resins.

8) Scaling tab: Enter % recovery and operating temperature.

9) Configuration tab: enter # of pass(es).

10) Configuration tab: enter # of stages in pass.

11) Configuration tab: enter fouling factor.

12) Configuration tab: choose a stage in select a stage in the pass.

16) Configuration tab: Select element type (product model).

15) Configuration tab: enter # of elements in each vessel.

14) Configuration tab: enter # of pressure vessels in stage.

13) Configuration tab: enter back pressure (if any).

17) Configuration tab: enter permeate flow and % recovery.

18) Configuration tab: check recirculation if needed, and enter the flow.

19) Configuration tab: repeat steps 12 through 19 until all stages.

20) Configuration tab: check blending permeate if needed, and enter the flow.

24) Configuration tab: click Perform Calculations.

23) Configuration tab: To adjust pH of second pass feed: 1) use Adjusted pH and dosing chemical; or 2) select Pct carbon removal or CO2 pressure.

22) Configuration tab: repeat steps 10 through 21.

21) Configuration tab: if this is a two pass system design, then select Pass 2 in Current Pass.
