In order to reduce the emission of green house gases(GHG)in a wastewater treatment process(WWTP)while guaranteeing the effluent quality index(EQI)and maintaining the operating cost index(OCI)
this study takes GHGs as an evaluation indictor for WWTP. Combined with other two traditional evaluation indexes
OCI and EQI
a multi-objective optimization problem is formulated. To study the three-objective optimization problem
a simplified wastewater treatment simulation platform BSM2-e was built. BSM2-e includes a primary clarifier
five activated sludge reactors
a secondary clarifier and a dewatering unit. To solve the multi-objective optimization problem
an improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was proposed
making the screen of populations based on crowding distance more accurate. The improved algorithm was used to solve the multi-objective optimization problem of WWTP
and satisfied simulation results were obtained. Optimization results showed that GHGs and EQI are conflicting objectives
while GHGs and OCI are not. This means that GHGs cannot be reduced without loss in effluent quality
but it may be reduced without increase in OCI.
