Abstract
Optimum design of the booster chlorination systems by using hybrid HS-Solver optimization technique
Highlights
Disinfection of water within the water distribution systems is an important problem to protect the public health
The main objective of this study is to propose a new simulationoptimization methodology to solve the booster station optimization problems in water distribution networks
Chlorine residuals in the demand locations are determined by means of the response matrix (RM) approach in the simulation part
Summary
Disinfection of water within the water distribution systems is an important problem to protect the public health. A conventional way of disinfection is to inject a large quantity of chlorine from the outlet of the water purification plants to maintain chlorine residuals at the critical locations of the network. This is a commonly considered application procedure, it may create excessive chlorine residuals in the vicinity of the injection point. On the other hand, reduced chlorine injections at the injection point may not be sufficient to kill bacteria at the remote points of the network [2] These problems can be alleviated by installing booster chlorination stations in the critical locations where low chlorine residuals are observed
