Description

Recently, at Brigham Young University, graduate students in the Environmental Engineering Laboratory have been exploring the possibility of using Genetic Algorithms for the optimization of wastewater treatment design. This research applies the IA WRC ASM no. 1 model for solving a four-stage Bardenpho process system using a tournament style selection genetic algorithm. The mathematical model was solved in Maple, and programmed in C++ using a Gauss-Seidel iterative method. Final results will be available in June 2003.
