Abstract: Abstract Predicting the optimum availability of the physical processing unit of sewage treatment plant is defined as a Nondeterministic Polynomial time-hard problem. Recently many researchers have utilized soft computing techniques to handle this issue. However, the existing techniques are far from the optimal solutions as soft computing techniques suffer from various issues such as, poor computational speed, getting stuck in local optima, pre-mature convergence, etc. Therefore, in this work a novel mathematical model is designed and implemented using Markov process and Chapman-Kolmogorov equations derived by assuming arbitrary repair rates and exponentially distributed failure rates. Thereafter, Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization techniques are utilized to optimize the availability and performance of physical processing unit. The needed data has been collected with the help of plant personnel and results are also shared with them. Experimental results reveal that the Particle Swarm Optimization based proposed model outperforms the competitive techniques.
