Abstract
It is possible to simulate waste treatment plants with increasing accuracy and reliability. This study examines the application of the SEPSIM steady-state simulation program as the modelling basis of an optimal synthesis program. A modified form of Box's Complex method coupled with Fan's structural parameter method is presented and employed in the solution of the multidimensional optimization problem. The computational difficulties associated with the optimal synthesis of processing systems are discussed in some detail. It is found that an operating arrangement consisting of a trickling filter and an activated sludge system working in parallel is clearly indicated by the models as being the optimal system.
