Abstract

This study proposes a fuzzy multi-objective model for groundwater remediation in petroleum-contaminated aquifers. The optimisation system is designed based on the PAT technology, and includes two objectives (i.e. total pumping rate and average post-remedial contaminant concentration). The relationship between pumping rates and contamination concentrations at all monitoring wells after remediation are determined by a proxy model, which integrates simulation, inference, and optimisation technologies and is composed of intercept, linear, interactive, and quadratic options. Fuzzy algorithms are used to solve the formulated multi-objective optimisation problem to find optimal solutions. The model is then applied to a petroleum-contaminated aquifer in western Canada. The trade-off and λ analyses of the results indicate that the fuzzy multi-objective model has great potential in groundwater remediation applications as it can: (1) provide reliable groundwater remediation strategies, (2) reduce computational costs in the optimization processes, and (3) balance the trade-off between remediation costs and remediation outcomes.
