FUNCTIONAL-TECHNOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURE AND ADAPTIVE CONTROL CONCEPT OF AN INTELLIGENT SOLAR ELECTROBIOMEMBRANE SYSTEM

Abstract

The increasing occurrence of micropollutants in municipal and industrial wastewater requires treatment platforms capable of combining contaminant destruction, biological transformation, membrane separation, and energy-efficient operation. This paper develops a functional-technological concept for an intelligent solar-electrobiomembrane system in which photovoltaic energy supply, electrochemical treatment, biological degradation, membrane separation, sensing, and adaptive control are integrated into a coordinated technological architecture. The study is based on a structured analysis of the scientific materials supplied for the research topic and does not introduce unsupported experimental measurements. The principal energetic, thermal, electrochemical, biological, and membrane-related parameters were classified according to their role in system control. Previously reported operating indicators, including a temperature interval of 25–35 °C, current density of 5–15 A/m², micropollutant degradation of up to 92.4%, a 38% reduction in biofouling formation rate, and a 28.5% reduction in the overall energy budget, were used as reference values for establishing the technological operating domain. The resulting framework emphasizes state-dependent control rather than fixed operating conditions. Such an architecture creates a methodological basis for real-time monitoring, digital-twin implementation, machine-learning-assisted prediction, and multi-objective optimization of wastewater treatment performance.
