Abstract EN
Stabilization ponds are easy to operate and their maintenance is simple.
Treatment is carried out naturally and they are recommended in developing countries.
The main disadvantage of these systems is the large land area they occupy.
The aim of this study was to perform an optimization in the design and cost of a facultative pond, considering a mathematical analysis of the traditional methodology to determine the model constraints (fecal coliforms and organic matter).
Matlab optimization toolbox was used for nonlinear programming.
A facultative pond with the traditional method was designed and then the optimization system was applied.
Both analyses meet the treated water quality requirements for the discharge to the receiving bodies.
The results show a reduction of hydraulic retention time by 4.82 days, and a decrease in the area of 17.9 percent over the traditional method.
A sensitivity analysis of the mathematical model is included.
It is recommended to realize a full-scale study in order to verify the results of the optimization.
