✦ Synopsis

In today's world of low cost personal computers and advanced software combined with knowledge of mathematical modeling MSF plant operation it is relatively simple and essential to develop a computer operational simulation program for any large desalination system . Such a computer program provides the following benefits :

• It's FUN and inexpensive. • It will aid in finalizing the design and optimization .

• It will determine operating costs at any set of variable input parameters .

• It can be used to determine the overall algorithm for operating costs and establish set-point parameters for operating conditions .
