This manuscript proposes an internal model controller (IMC) for conical tank system with hybrid approach. The hybrid approach is the combination of lotus effect optimization (LEA) and attentive evolutionary generative adversarial network (AEGAN) algorithm; hence it is known as LEA-AEGAN approach. The main purpose of the work is to enhanced drainage of process fluid. Process fluids can be of various mixes of solids, semisolids, slurries, and liquids. The inclination angle of the tank aids drainage eliminates sediments, and so on, but it also adds non-linearity into the system. The IMC is used to nonlinear systems, which is required to regulate the level of a conical tank. The proposed LEA is utilized to find the optimal controller parameters and minimize the error of the system. And the AEGAN is used to predicts the control parameters and ensure the controller tuning. By using the proposed system, it is implemented by MATLAB platform and compared with the existing techniques. The settling time, overshoot, and rise time of the proposed controller is 21.9sec, 11.11%, and 2.2sec, respectively
