Lee, J.Y.
Economies of scale provide the main incentive for regionalization of wastewater treatment facilities. the cost of collecting wastewater increases with the size of plant and serves to offset within plant scale economies. two types of secondary treatment and three tertiary treatment processes were considered as feasible alternatives. the possibility of substituting land spreading for tertiary is discussed, and the factors which should be considered in land treatment are analyzed with the aid of an optimization model. the break even distances of transmission pipelines for land treatment as a substitute for teritiary treatment are calculated and presented.
