Abstract
Inside
the canals of wastewater treatment plants of thermal power stations usually produces in a natural way a deposition of particles in suspension, which causes a change in geometry of the bottom of channel, with the consequent appearance of accumulated sludge and growth of algae and vegetation. This fact may lead to a misfunction of the purification process in the plant. Our main aim focuses on the optimal design of the geometry of such canals to avoid the difficulties derived from these processes. The problem can be formulated as a control-constrained optimal control problem of partial differential equations, and discretized via a characteristics/finite element method. For a simplified case study (canals of rectangular section), theoretical and applicable results are presented.
