Process Improvement on Domestic Wastewater Treatment Stabilization Ponds by Using Mathematical Optimization Approach

Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical optimization approach is used to improve the pollutant degradation process on domestic wastewater treatment stabilization ponds. The optimized process in this research is the pumping process that was modelled as a mathematical optimization problem. By using data that was collected in Sewon wastewater treatment in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the pumping process can be optimized and the optimal decision was determined that can be applied to operate this wastewater treatment pond.
