Optimization of Wastewater Pumping Process with A Data-driven Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wastewater pumping consumes 10% to 20% of electricity in wastewater treatment plants. To reduce the energy consumption, a data-driven approach is applied to model and optimize the wastewater pumping process. Datamining algorithm and multilayer perceptron neural network are used to build the pumping energy model. The optimization model is solved by an improved harmony search algorithm. Optimal pump configurations and pump speed settings are determined. Significant energy savings are accomplished by running the pumping station using optimized settings.

Minimizing pump energy in a wastewater processing plant
This paper discusses energy savings in wastewater processing plant pump operations and proposes a pump system scheduling model to generate operational schedules to reduce energy consumption. A neural network algorithm is utilized to model pump energy consumption and fluid flow rate after pumping. The scheduling model is a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem (MINLP). As solving a data-dr...
متن کاملModeling and analysis of pumps in a wastewater treatment plant: A data-mining approach
A data-mining approach is proposed to model a pumping system in a wastewater treatment plant. Two parameters, energy consumption and wastewater flow rate after the pumping system, are used to evaluate the performance of 27 scenarios while the pump was operating. Five data-mining algorithms are applied to identify the relationships between the outputs (energy consumption and wastewater flow rate...
