摘要

Water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) face growing pressures to balance compliance, sustainability, and cost while adapting to evolving treatment needs. To support research, development, and deployment (RD&D) of innovative technological solutions, we developed an open-access benchmarking framework comprised of 18 plant-wide simulation models. Implemented in QSDsan, the framework is validated against GPS-X™ simulations while capturing distinct system behaviors, treatment performance, energy demand, and operational costs across diverse designs. It offers a rigorous and transparent foundation for comparative technology evaluations, guiding RD&D decision-making and advancing sustainable water management.
