Abstract
Electrodialysis separation is increasingly used in industrial production. New technological processes, types of equipment, and components of devices are being introduced. Such work is expensive, time-consuming and requires working out. Errors in the operation of new equipment, when separating mixtures, can lead to emergencies, failure of device components or a complete shutdown of production. Therefore, it is proposed to use simulation and virtual simulators to simulate new technological processes, test equipment and train personnel. Virtual simulators provide an opportunity to work out the main parameters of the electrodialysis separation process, assess the nature of the processes taking place in the device, and the effectiveness of introducing new technologies without loading equipment and personnel. The developed virtual simulator simulates the operation of an industrial electrodialysis unit. The use of the simulator allows you to simulate the technological process in real time, change the basic parameters of the devices, set the input and output characteristics of solutions, evaluate the efficiency of electrodialysis equipment, work out a sequence of actions in case of emergency situations. An intuitive interface is used, and it is possible to obtain detailed background information at any stage of training. The developed virtual simulator is designed to train students, test knowledge and improve the qualifications of employees. The proposed training program in the form of scenarios can be adapted to the required speed of assimilation of information and the level of understanding of the material. The developed program can be used to assess possible malfunctions of production equipment, the causes of emergency situations during operation and when developing approaches to their elimination.
