Abstract

The benefits and utility of transport optimization algorithms against trial and error approaches for pump and treat system design were evaluated. The transport optimization was applied to problems associated with reduction of contaminant concentrations or contaminant mass. The costs for pump and treat systems were reduced by millions of dollars by the application of transport optimization. The results show that mathematical optimization is capable of identifying substantially improved solutions to actual field-scale problems.
