Meet the AquaConnect PhDs pt. 2: Tjerk and Alaaeldin
New insights in membrane separation by Tjerk and Alaaeldin. AquaConnect started already more than a year ago. At the moment, Tjerk and Alaaeldin are very busy with their experimental work in the laboratory, where they work on the development of new membranes for fit-for-purpose water treatment. Alaaeldin explores selective separation of water streams by electrodialysis. […]
Peter Verheijen publishes the first AquaConnect publication
Peter Verheijen published the first AquaConnect scientific publication! In this publication, Peter studies the implementation of model predictive control for optimizing water distribution networks based on operating costs and technical constraints, such as pressure loss. He tested the effect of sampling periods on the performance of model predictive control for a simplified water distribution network. […]
