For large and complex reacting systems, computational efficiency becomes a critical
issue in process simulation, optimization and model-based control. Mechanism simplification is
often a necessity to improve computational speed. Wepresent a novel approach to simplification of
reaction networks that formulates the model reduction problem as an optimization problem and
solves it using genetic algorithm (GA).The aim of simplification kinetics modeling is to derive the
simplest reaction system, which retains the essential features ofthe full system. Numerical results
for H2/02 combustion reaction mechanism illustrate the potential andproficiency ofthis approach.
