Funded Activity Summary

Improving Resilience of MCDI for Water Supply in Remote Communities . 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.
