The GEKKO Optimization Suite paper was selected as a 2020 Best Paper by the journal Processes. This is one out of about 1500 papers published by the journal that are awarded based on metrics for impact and citations.

There are many applications of model predictive control and optimization with Gekko. One example is nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) for 💦 water recovery in tailings reprocessing in South Africa.

There is a 27% decrease in variability and 5% increase in water recovery. Read the full report in the recently published article (2023):
