The key role of inoculated sludge in fast start-up of sequencing batch reactor for the domestication of aerobic granular sludge.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
Two types of inoculated sludges, granular sludge that had been stored at -20°C and activated sludge, were investigated for the domestication of aerobic granular sludges (AGSs) in sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). The results showed that using the sto...

Effluent composition prediction of a two-stage anaerobic digestion process: machine learning and stoichiometry techniques.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Computational self-adapting methods (Support Vector Machines, SVM) are compared with an analytical method in effluent composition prediction of a two-stage anaerobic digestion (AD) process. Experimental data for the AD of poultry manure were used. Th...

Modeling and Multiresponse Optimization for Anaerobic Codigestion of Oil Refinery Wastewater and Chicken Manure by Using Artificial Neural Network and the Taguchi Method.

BioMed research international
To study the optimum process conditions for pretreatments and anaerobic codigestion of oil refinery wastewater (ORWW) with chicken manure, L (3) Taguchi's orthogonal array was applied. The biogas production (BGP), biomethane content (BMP), and chemic...

Estimation of biogas and methane yields in an UASB treating potato starch processing wastewater with backpropagation artificial neural network.

Bioresource technology
Three-layered feedforward backpropagation (BP) artificial neural networks (ANN) and multiple nonlinear regression (MnLR) models were developed to estimate biogas and methane yield in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating potato s...

Application of the removal of pollutants from textile industry wastewater in constructed wetlands using fuzzy logic.

Environmental technology
There are more than a hundred textile industries in Turkey that discharge large quantities of dye-rich wastewater, resulting in water pollution. Such effluents must be treated to meet discharge limits imposed by the Water Framework Directive in Turke...

Evaluating the ability of artificial neural network and PCA-M5P models in predicting leachate COD load in landfills.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Waste burial in uncontrolled landfills can cause serious environmental damages and unpleasant consequences. Leachates produced in landfills have the potential to contaminate soil and groundwater resources. Leachate management is one of the major issu...

Modeling the BOD of Danube River in Serbia using spatial, temporal, and input variables optimized artificial neural network models.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
This paper describes the application of artificial neural network models for the prediction of biological oxygen demand (BOD) levels in the Danube River. Eighteen regularly monitored water quality parameters at 17 stations on the river stretch passin...

Gross parameters prediction of a granular-attached biomass reactor by means of multi-objective genetic-designed artificial neural networks: touristic pressure management case.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The Artificial Neural Networks by Multi-objective Genetic Algorithms (ANN-MOGA) model has been applied to gross parameters data of a Sequencing Batch Biofilter Granular Reactor (SBBGR) with the aim of providing an effective tool for predicting the fl...

Enhanced methane production in an anaerobic digestion and microbial electrolysis cell coupled system with co-cultivation of Geobacter and Methanosarcina.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
The anaerobic digestion (AD) and microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) coupled system has been proved to be a promising process for biomethane production. In this paper, it was found that by co-cultivating Geobacter with Methanosarcina in an AD-MEC coupl...
