چکیده

A fuzzy simulation-based optimization approach FSOA is developed for identifying optimal design of a benzene-contaminated groundwater remediation system under uncertainty. FSOA integrates remediation processes i.e., biodegradation and pump-and-treat , fuzzy simulation, and fuzzy-mean-value-based optimization technique into a general management framework. This approach offers the advantages of 1 considering an integrated remediation alternative, 2 handling simulation and optimization problems under uncertainty, and 3 providing a direct linkage between remediation strategies and remediation performance through proxy models. The results demonstrate that optimal remediation alternatives can be obtained to mitigate benzene concentration to satisfy environmental standards with a minimum system cost.

A Stochastic Optimization Approach in the Design of an Aquifer Remediation under Hydrogeologic Uncertainty

A stochastic optimization approach is presented for the remediation design of a contaminated aquifer with limited hydrogeologic information. Stochastic simulation using the Monte Carlo technique, produces a series of equally probable realisations of the spatially varying random hydraulic conductivity field. The stochastic flow and transport simulation model is coupled, using the response matrix...
