Brine & Concentrate

What happens to the reject stream after separation.

Concentrate management, volume reduction and recovery. EngiMetric derives concentrate flow and concentrate TDS by salt conservation; it does not yet model the downstream concentration equipment itself.

4 technologies in this category · 0 with an EngiMetric quantitative model

Handling the reject stream: its flow and salinity are derived by the RO engines, but its disposal or reuse route is not modelled.

  • Information only
  • Not quantitatively modeled
  • mature

Concentrating a brine to a dry or near-dry residue. Catalogued for orientation; EngiMetric has no ZLD engine and states no thermal or crystalliser figures.

  • Information only
  • Not quantitatively modeled
  • established

Recovering salts such as sodium chloride from a concentrate. Orientation only; EngiMetric models no crystallization or product-yield calculation.

  • Information only
  • Not quantitatively modeled
  • developing

Solar evaporation in lined ponds, the lowest-energy concentrate volume reduction available. Orientation only.

Calculators for this area

  • RO Concentrate Flow CalculatorBrine/reject flow with water and salt balance closure, concentrate TDS, concentration factor and salt loads.
  • RO Mass Balance CalculatorSimplified TDS-based dissolved-solids balance for RO feed, permeate, and concentrate flow and quality checks.
  • RO Concentration Factor & Salt Load CalculatorCompute RO water concentration factor (CF = 1/(1−Y)) and the salt load carried to concentrate for scaling and disposal analysis.
  • Brine Volume and Mass CalculatorAnnualise the brine volume and salt mass from the concentrate stream, with optional disposal cost and the dilution arithmetic against a stated permit limit. No compliance verdict is issued.

EngiMetric describes these technologies and states their maturity, but does not size them. Sizing figures for this area come from a process vendor or a specialist calculation — the platform will not produce them.
