Improved Optimization for Wastewater Treatment and Reuse System Using Computational Intelligence by Zong Woo Geem, Sung Yong Chung, Jin-Hong Kim

“…In order to optimize this complex system, we may consider three treatment or reuse options such as microscreening filtration, nitrification, and fertilization-oriented irrigation on top of two existing options such as settling and biological oxidation. The objective of this environmental optimization is to minimize the economic expenditure of life cycle costs while satisfying the public health standard in terms of groundwater quality and the environmental standard in terms of river water quality. …”
