The AIM of this project is the development of robust, PV-powered water treatment units based on the emerging technology of Membrane Capacitive Deionisation (MCDI). The development of a more resilient approach to provision of potable water is particularly SIGNIFICANT to remote indigenous communities in central Australia where brackish groundwaters are unsuitable for use without prior treatment. EXPECTED OUTCOMES include development of resilient MCDI units incorporating innovative control of the charging and discharging cycles using "smart” (machine learning enabled) Digital Twins of these units. These MCDI units will BENEFIT any community requiring removal of contaminants from brackish waters without the need for external mains power supply.

该项目的目标是基于新兴的膜电容去离子（MCDI）技术开发强大的光伏动力水处理装置。对于澳大利亚中部偏远的土著社区来说，制定更具弹性的饮用水供应方法尤为重要，因为那里的咸淡地下水不经事先处理就不适合使用。预期结果包括开发弹性MCDI单元，使用这些单元的“智能”（机器学习支持）数字双胞胎对充放电周期进行创新控制。这些MCDI装置将使任何需要从咸淡水中去除污染物而不需要外部电源的社区受益。
