Abstract:
 
 In this work, a model of a waste water treatment plant is
 investigated. The model is described by a nonlinear system of two
 differential equations with one bounded control. An optimal control
 problem of minimizing concentration of the polluted water at the
 terminal time T is stated and solved analytically with the use of
 the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. Dependence of the optimal solution
 on the initial conditions is established. Computer simulations of a
 model of an industrial waste water treatment plant show the advantage
 of using our optimal strategy. Possible applications are discussed.
