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...
The types and quantities of microorganisms in activated sludge are directly related to the stability and efficiency of sewage treatment systems. This paper proposes a sludge microorganism detection method based on microscopic phase contrast image opt...
Heat pump drying technology based on sewage heat source is an eco-friendly sludge drying method. It can effectively reduce the pollution of natural water bodies by waste heat while reducing energy consumption. However, the drying characteristics of s...
Activated sludge enriches vast amounts of micropollutants (MPs) when wastewater is treated, posing potential environmental risks. While standard methods typically focus on target analysis of known compounds, the identity, structure, and concentration...
