GORMan: A framework for Governance, Ontologies, and Risk Management of scalable, cross-sector integration of secure energy-water infrastructure information
This white paper addresses the inherent challenges in applying data-driven approaches to integrated energy-water solutions across the US due to the lack of standardization in collection, storage, governance, management, curation and risk mitigation among data owners across scales...
Fishler, H., May, A., Knight, K., and Rebillout, L.
State-of-the-Art MABR Technology for Energy-Efficient, Compact and Low N2O Emission Wastewater Solutions
The focal area of this white paper is advancing energy water resilience in wastewater treatment through the deployment of Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) technology.
The proposed effort advances MABR technology as a treatment intensification solution to address energy inef...
