Optimal Design of Wastewater Treatment Plant Using Adaptive Simulated Annealing
This paper deals with the application of Adaptive Simulated Annealing
(ASA) for the optimal design of the wastewater treatment plant. The
plant consists of a trickling filter, an activated sludge aeration
vessel and a secondary clarifier.In this work a successful attempt has
been made to use the ASA for optimal design of wastewater treatment
plant. ASA based optimal design values have been compared with
conventional optimization approaches and has been found to yield the
lowest total construction cost of wastewater treatment plant. From this
work, it has been found that artificial intelligence based optimization
techniques such as adaptive simulated annealing is found to be suitable
for the optimal design of wastewater treatment plant. @JASE
