✦ Synopsis

An analytical method analogous to the Kremser-like procedure used in chemical engineering unit operations has been developed for the design and performance evaluation of co-current and counter-current electrodialysis stacks operated at high concentrations.

Membrane area or concentrations and flow rates of the outlet streams can be explicitly calculated. When the method is compared with numerical procedures, no relevant discrepancies are found between the two. For its simplicity it is very useful to process engineers for quick initial estimates and plant arrangements.
