This unit model is formulated as a single-input, double-output model form. See documentation for :ref:`single-input, double-output Helper Methods<sido_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 cost_brine_concentrator method in the zero-order costing package. See documentation for the :ref:`zero-order costing package<zero_order_costing>`.
