New framework for standardized notation in membrane filtration modelling for resource recovery from municipal wastewater
Résumé
Membrane filtration models for membrane bioreactors (MBRs) present a lack of homogeneity in the nomenclature used. The main objective of this work is to propose a new notational framework that allows a single and systematic naming. The proposal takes into account the different nomenclature used in literature, trying to minimize specific problems encountered with regards to current notation. An standardized notation for both state variables and model parameters are proposed, including different levels of subscripts to be applied. Standardization within MBR modelling field would allow easily comparing different modelling exercises aimed to advance on the optimization of MBR systems for resource recovery from municipal wastewater.
