This unit model is formulated as a reactive single-inlet, double-outlet model form. See documentation for :ref:`reactive single-inlet, double-outlet Helper Methods<sidor_methods>`.
The constraint used to calculate energy consumption is described in the Additional Constraints section below. More details can be found in the unit model class.
Costing is calculated using the :py:meth:`~watertap.unit_models.zero_order.metab_zo.MetabZOData.cost_metab` method. For full details on costing, see documentation for the :ref:`zero-order costing package<zero_order_costing>`.
