Time-varying optimal design for groundwater bioremediation: The pilot-scale study of a western Canadian site

This paper presents the development of an integrated simulation-clustering-optimization (ISCO) approach for supporting the groundwater bioremediation design. To investigate remediation performances, a subsurface model was employed to simulate contaminant transport. A mixed integer nonlinear optimization model was formulated to evaluate different remediation strategies. Multivariate relationships based on stepwise clustering analysis were …
