VI. Conclusion
Mathematical approach based on mass balance has been used in minimization of fresh
water consumption for multi contaminant mass exchanger network. The non-linear

programming is used for the water allocation problem being studied. The results can be
obtained effectively by using Matlab Optimization Toolbox.
