Abstract

Securing a steady supply of water and energy is vital for the success of mobile operations in emergency and military situations. A mobile energy and water supply systems (EWSS) seeks to guarantee these resources through the use of renewable energy, hydrogen energy storage, and built-in water purification systems. The design of these water treatment systems involves a series of interesting challenges regarding the selection of treatment technologies and their interactions with the energy system. This work seeks to review the available water treatment technologies and evaluate their application in mobile water treatment systems as well as suitability for the production of ultrapure water to generate hydrogen via electrolysis. Each technology is evaluated using a technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) to provide a guide for the selection of water treatment technologies for mobile water treatment systems in an EWSS. Based on their TOPSIS scores, GAC filtration, membrane distillation, UV treatment, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration stood out as key technologies for a mobile water treatment system.

军用移动营地水处理系统的审查和选择方法

确保水和能源的稳定供应对于在紧急情况和军事情况下机动行动的成功至关重要。移动能源和供水系统（EWSS）寻求通过使用可再生能源、氢能源储存和内置水净化系统来保证这些资源。这些水处理系统的设计涉及一系列有趣的挑战，涉及处理技术的选择及其与能源系统的相互作用。这项工作旨在回顾现有的水处理技术，并评估其在移动水处理系统中的应用，以及通过电解生产超纯水以产生氢的适用性。每种技术都使用一种通过理想解决方案相似性（TOPSIS）多标准决策（MCDM）的顺序偏好技术进行评估，为EWSS中移动水处理系统的水处理技术选择提供指导。根据TOPSIS评分，GAC过滤、膜蒸馏、UV处理、超滤和微滤成为移动水处理系统的关键技术。
