Hydranautics Releases New IMSDesign Software For 2007

Oceanside, CA — Hydranautics, the leader in membrane separations technology, announces its new release of IMSDesign 2007; powerful software created to meet the most demanding needs of the membrane industry professional. Hydranautics provides two software programs free of charge: IMSDesign (Integrated Membrane Solutions® design) and ROdataXL. IMSDesign is a comprehensive membrane projection program that allows the user to design an RO or UF system using Hydranautics membranes. ROdataXL is an easy to use normalization program that tracks the performance of any RO system which can be used to assure optimum membrane performance.

In addition to the features that make IMSDesign a powerful tool for designing an integrated membrane system, the latest version of IMSDesign includes many previous features which enhance the user's ability to quickly design multiple desalination systems, including second pass pH adjustment, the highest boron rejecting seawater and brackish water membranes in the industry, and the ability to design a split partial two pass seawater system. New for 2007 is a "turbo-boost" option, allowing designers to include this component in their system parameters. Also new for 2007 is the "summary calculation" function, allowing users to evaluate projections over a range of temperatures, recoveries and ages in one simple step. The output is downloaded into a convenient Excel spreadsheet format so the data can be further manipulated. Hydranautics is the only company to provide this capability in their system design software.

Used to track the performance of an RO system, ROdataXL is a software package which integrates proven normalization equations with the power and versatility of Microsoft EXCEL. Designed with user-friendly forms and controls as well as automatically updated performance graphs, ROdataXL makes it easy to track RO system performance. The program can also be modified and customized by any user familiar with Microsoft EXCEL, making ROdataXL one of the most flexible normalization programs in the industry. To assure the highest standards of data integrity, the normalization program is in compliance with ASTM Standard D 4516-85, "Standard Practice for Standardizing Reverse Osmosis Performance Data." ROdata can be viewed in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese.
