Groundwater Remediation through Pump-Treat-Inject Technology Using Optimum Control by Artificial Intelligence (OCAI)

Optimum Control by Artificial Intelligence (OCAI) is presented in this paper as a dynamic decision making algorithm for optimising pumpage schedule to remediate a contaminated aquifer using the Pump, Treat and Inject (PTI) method. OCAI integrates three modules to control contaminants, to reduce runtime and to meet water quality constraints and discharge capacity at the wells. There is no bespoke capability for the strategy presented by the...
