Overview

abstract

• Nowadays, an adequate design for wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) based on optimization methods is fundamental with sustainability factors under consideration. This can be achieved by developing a systematic methodology based on models that uses as decision criteria sustainability metrics, such as costs, contaminant removal and customer value. As a preliminary analysis, two dimensions of sustainability (economic and environmental) have been studied as mono-objective functions to make evident the need for a comprehensive assessment when designing a WWTP. This was carried out considering a case study for the treatment municipal wastewater from Mexico City. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
