Abstract
The Water and Waste Water (WWW) industry is critical to the development of and the contribution to the economic growth of a country. Water is a scarce resource that requires careful usage and conservation. Water usage generates wastewater, which is collected and treated for reuse to minimize the continuous use of fresh water. The facilities that are designed to treat WWW are required to operate continuously to meet the demand requirements for water. These facilities face challenges of high-energy demands and unexpected failures of the equipment used in the treatment process. It becomes necessary to consider seriously the optimization of the limited available energy and maintenance to enable sustainability of the supply of fresh water, and the reduction of operating costs and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission...
