摘要: In this paper we describe some work carried out in the UK into improving effectiveness of a waste treatment and distribution network. Sludge is name given to (treated) water sewage. It collected at small facilities requires further before it can be disposed of. We develop linear programming model for problem effectively treating distributing sludge. This has been implemented large regional company, Yorkshire Water.
