Parametric programming technique for global optimization of wastewater treatment systems

This paper presents a parametric programming technique for the optimal design of industrial wastewater treatment networks (WTN) featuring multiple contaminants. Inspired in scientific notation and powers of ten, the proposed approach avoids the non-convex bilinear terms through a piecewise decomposi...
