This paper presents a study of the effects of parameter variations on optimal process system structures and designs for biological wastewater treatment systems. Results indicate that optimal system structure and design are sensitive to variations in the rate constants and feed concentration. Some of the process flowsheets deduced are innovative and have surprisingly low total costs. The process system structures and designs developed in this study merit consideration in future planning and design of wastewater treatment systems.
