Defining Fundamental Principles for the Design and Operation of Membrane Systems from Time-Varying Performance Analysis

从时变性能分析中确定膜系统设计和运行的基本原则。到目前为止，膜技术工业应用的大部分工艺改进都围绕着基于聚合物科学的膜材料的开发，以及由于应用基本(通常是简单化的)工程原理而导致的工艺和模块的改变。虽然未来的一些改进可能仍然来自这些领域，但最显著的进步可能来自于将先进的工程原理应用到这个复杂的系统中。该项目将为膜系统的设计和运行整合先进的CFD建模和控制原则，以加深对应导致重大工艺改进的基本理解。

Defining Fundamental Principles for the Design and Operation of Membrane Systems from Time-Varying Performance Analysis. To date, much of the process improvement for industrial application of membrane technology has revolved around polymer science based development of membrane materials and process and module changes resulting from the application of basic (often simplistic) engineering principles. While some future improvements may still come from these areas, the most dramatic advances are likely to be derived from the application of advanced engineering principles to this complex system. This project will integrate advanced CFD modelling and control principles for the design and operation of membrane systems in order to develop fundamental understanding that should lead to significant process improvements.
