Integrated Simulation and Optimization Models for Treatment Plant Placement in Drinking Water Systems
Drinking water systems are critical to human health and economic development. System design considers treatment infrastructure to remove contaminants from water supplies and distribution system infrastructure to transport and maintain the quality of treated water to households and businesses. Therefore, treatment and distribution components should be evaluated together when considering system designs and the associated effects on water quality. Planning models are often used to aid decision makers in evaluating drinking water system changes over time. This work proposes a planning modeling approach to determine the optimal treatment and alternative supply infrastructure location and capacity within an existing distribution system. The model consists of four stages: (1) simulating system hydraulic and water quality behavior to set optimization model parameters; (2) selecting potential system configurations through optimization; (3) validating the system hydraulic and water quality behavior through simulation; and (4) selecting network treatment configuration. Results indicate an optimal number of treatment locations that provide the best delivered water quality. For the demonstration network, more than three plants did not provide any improvement in water quality.
