Zależność kosztów eksploatacji stacji uzdatniania wody podziemnej w Suwałkach od jej wydajności

The objective of the article was to define a mathematical model for the relationship between the unit costs of operating an underground water treatment plant and its capacity. This model was formulated on the example of the underground water treatment station in Suwałki, Poland. The station is also described in the article. The article discusses the theoretical and practical basis for determining this relationship. Mathematical models for this relationship were established for the years 2010, 2011 and 2012. They show that the unit operating costs decrease with an increasing capacity. The relationships discussed in the article may be used as indicatory guidelines when designing a groundwater treatment plant of similar capacity and technology.
