A theoretical model of the sewage treatment plant location problem is presented, based on the assumptions of a homogeneous space and a homogeneous channel geometry of a river running parallel to a one-dimensional region. The analytical structure of the model is discussed. The model is then applied to the specific case of a suburban region of the Tokyo Metropolitan Region, where both the homogeneity assumptions are dropped. The numerical simulations show clearly how the heterogeneity in population distribution and river characteristics, as well as the trade-off ratio between water quality and least cost expenditure, affects the optimal plant locations.

The capacitated plant location problem with linear transportation costs is considered. Exact rules and heuristics are presented for opening or closing of facilities. A heuristic algorithm based on ADD/DROP strategies is proposed. Procedures are implemented with the help of lower and upper bounds using Lagrangean relaxation. Computational results are presented and comparisons with other algorithms are made.
