Multiobjective Models for Central Plant Site Selection in Joint WWTPs Operation of Small Towns

Article Preview

Abstract:

The wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in small towns are of dispersed locations, small scale and difficult management, thus joint WWTPs operation is a recommended operation mode for those WWTPs. Site selection for central plant plays a crucial role in promoting the reliability and efficiency in joint WWTPs operation. Multiobjective models to maximize the reliability and minimize the cost of the central plant were developed, and primary objective function was applied to obtain the solution of the models. And we presented an example to illustrate the application of the proposed models.
