Evolutionary Algorithm Application for Parameter Estimation of the Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1

摘要

The paper present an application of evolutionary algorithms in environmental sciences. It describes the Anaerobic Digestion Process and a suitable mathematical model (Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1). The Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1 is adopted on a real waste water treatment plant digestion process. The paper shows how the fitting the Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1 onto the real digestion process can be solved by the use of evolutionary algorithms.
