A chemical plant makes three products and uses three raw materials in limited supply as shown in Figure a. Each of
the three products is produced in a separate process (1, 2, 3) according to the schematic shown in the figure.

In a rough preliminary design for a waste treatment plant the cost of the components are as follows (in order of
operation
where the x's are the fraction of the 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) exiting each respective unit in the
process, that is, the exit concentrations of material to be removed. The required removal in each unit should be
adjusted so that the final exit concentration x, must be less than 0.05. Optimize this problem.
