Modular Wastewater Plant Design Size Optimization

市政供水和废水处理部门被认为是资本最密集的工业部门之一，不幸的是，美国土木工程师协会（2005年）将饮用水和废水处理基础设施系统的状况评为较差，特别提到长期缺乏资本资产投资。显然，基于健全的金融和工程原则的方法，加强资本资产配置战略，可以增加市政决策者的重要价值。本提案的重点将是污水厂扩建的优化，特别强调模块化分阶段工厂扩建。

The municipal water and wastewater sector is considered to be one of the most capital intensive industrial sectors and unfortunately the American Society of Civil Engineers (2005) rated the condition of the drinking water and wastewater infrastructure systems as poor, citing specifically a lack of investment in capital assets over a prolonged period of time. Clearly, methods based on sound financial and engineering principles that enhance capital asset allocation strategies can add significant value to municipal decision makers. The focus of this proposal will be the optimization of wastewater plant expansions, with specific emphasis on modular staged plant expansion.
