摘要
We address the problem of optimal design of reverse osmosis (RO)-based water treatment systems. A superstructure optimization method is proposed to solve the problem, where the superstructure for a RO system is structurally enhanced with additional features. We formulate the problem as mixed-integer nonlinear program which is solved to yield optimal results. A case study on desalination is considered in this work, and the numerical results obtained using our approach are validated using a commercial simulation tool. We further extend the problem by considering the effects of degradation of membrane performance over time and solve it by representing the problem as a two-stage stochastic program. This new approach is highly useful for identifying minimum cost robust designs for membrane-based water purification systems, which are especially important in desalination applications.
