Many works in capacitive deionization (CDI) use finite-element (FEM) simulations to investigate process behavior. Here, we present ELC, comprehensive software that integrates these methods with COMSOL Multiphysics. It can save significant time for common research questions in CDI operations and is well-suited for new research questions in complex and upscaled device designs. The ELC software has already been used for the simulation of time-varying desalination output, charge leakages, bipolar electrode devices, and stacks of over 100 CDI cells. Finally, we provide a video tutorial on how to use the software. In conclusion, ELC could be a strong software for aiding current and future research in electrochemical desalination.
