The hyporheic zone (HZ) of treated sewage-dominated rivers serves as a critical biogeochemical hotspot for dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) transformation, yet the mechanisms linking DON chemodiversity to microbial community dynamics remain poorly re...
This study aimed to optimize biogas and methane production from Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors for treating domestic wastewater using advanced machine learning models-namely, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and its hybridized form, XGB...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) serve as reservoirs for multiple antimicrobial agents (AAs), thereby promoting the risk of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) transmission in sewage and sludge during biological nitrogen removal (BNR) processes. An...
In this study, an intelligent automated operational strategy (IAOS) was developed and evaluated to enhance nitrogen removal efficiency in an anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A2O) membrane bioreactor (MBR). To effectively respond to fluctuations in inflow load,...

Water companies use closed-circuit television (CCTV) to inspect the condition of sewage pipes. The reports generated by surveyors help companies to plan for the maintenance and rehabilitation of sewage pipes. A surveyor needs to record the water leve...
Computer vision techniques can expedite the detection of bacterial growth in wastewater treatment plants and alleviate some of the shortcomings associated with traditional detection methods. In recent years, researchers capitalized on this potential ...
Controllers of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) often struggle to maintain optimal performance due to dynamic influent characteristics and the need to balance multiple operational objectives. In this study, Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms a...
Monitoring the microparticle transfer process in wastewater treatment systems is crucial for improving treatment performance. Supervised deep learning methods show high performance to automatically detect particles, but they rely on vast amounts of l...
