  7. Abstract:
  8. A proper process selection has an important role in optimal operation of designed plants at exploitation time. The aim of this research is to provide software for the optimal process selection of municipal wastewater treatment plants in Iran which is a multi criteria optimization process. For this reason this project has been defined to establish a unique procedure for process selection aiming to help design engineers to find optimal process combinations. The main reasons of this case study include: special geology, the culture of people and economic conditions. Heretofore, numerous efforts have been done on optimal wastewater treatment process selection. But in most of them selection has been done based on cost assessment here we introduce a new approach considers 8 criteria in decision making process. The impressive factors are: location, quality and quantity of raw wastewater, regional development programs, environmental studies, land requirement, wastewater reuse potentials, standards, risk analysis, operation and maintenance problems, the use of treated sludge, phased implementation capability, energy consumption, economic assessment, and construction issues. Clearly using this algorithm, weighting factors for criteria is necessary to know in order to make selection among feasible options. The results of this research are presented as software for wastewater treatment plant selection in Iran
