- Mathematical modeling and optimization in the design of a maturation pond Facundo Cortés Martínez Alejandro Treviño Cansino Agustín Sáenz López José Luis González Barrios Francisco Javier de la Cruz Ingeniería Wastewater Optimization Maturation pond Mathematical modeling Many lagoon systems in Mexico, and generally in developing countries, do not meet the norm for water pouring into receptors bodies. It wasapplied mathematical modeling to optimize the design and cost of a maturation pond, considering the methodology adopted for Mexico by theNational Water Commission, taking as variables the hydraulic retention time and the number of screens, then the results were compared with atraditional design of a maturation pond without screens. Both analyses fulfill the treated water quality standards for pouring into receptors bodies.The results show a reduction in the hydraulic retention time by 8.65 days, and a reduction by 48.16 percent in land requirement. About the cost, itwas obtained a reduction of 42.24 percent in comparison whit the traditional method. A major advantage of the mathematical model is the obtainingof the optimal design, which would be very difficult to get with the traditional methodology because the process is iterative and uses more thanone variable, also can be inferred that the use of screens increases the efficiency. The algorithm used was the interior point by Matlab’s Fminconfunction, which determines the optimal values to accomplish the water quality constraints and obtains the lowest possible cost for construction. Itis included the sensitive analysis for the mathematical model. It is recommended to carry out the present research at real scale with the finality tocheck the results given by the optimization.All Rights Reserved © 2016 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Centro de Ciencias Aplicadas y Desarrollo Tecnológico.
