Modular Wastewater Plant Design Size Optimization

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
