Some obtained results are presented in an example. They suggest, that for every treatment plant a rate of inflow is determinable, which leads to a minimum of total emissions out of sewer and treatment plant. That optimal value of sewage treatment plant inflow in the example is distinct- ly greater than the design flow rate 2Qs + Qf. (Qs and Qf denote the domestic water flow rate and the infiltration water flow rate, the factor 2 is fixed in German design rules). So it is recognizable, that a rigid connection of sewer and treatment plant not always fulfils the aim of minimization of total emissions.enbiological reactorBioreaktorcombined sewer systemGesamtemissionMischkanalisationsewer tanksimulation modelSimulationsmodellSpeicherbeckentotal emission620333journal article
