Comparative analysis of supervised learning models for effluent quality prediction in wastewater treatment plants.

PloS one
Effluent quality prediction is critical for optimizing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operations, ensuring regulatory compliance, and promoting environmental sustainability. This study evaluates the performance of five supervised learning models-A...

Validation of wastewater data using artificial intelligence tools and the evaluation of their performance regarding annotator agreement.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research
To prevent the pollution of water resources, the measurement and the limitation of wastewater discharges are required. Despite the progress in the field of data acquisition systems, sensors are subject to malfunctions that can bias the evaluation of ...

Modelling the biological treatment process aeration efficiency: application of the artificial neural network algorithm.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research
The biological treatment process (BTP) is responsible for removing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia using microorganisms present in wastewater. The BTP consumes large quantities of energy due to the transfer of oxygen using air pumps/blowers....

Energy saving for air supply in a real WWTP: application of a fuzzy logic controller.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research
An unconventional cascade control system, for the regulation of air supply in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), was tested. The dissolved oxygen (DO) set point in the aeration tank was dynamically calculated based on effluent ammo...

Application of unsupervised learning and process simulation for energy optimization of a WWTP under various weather conditions.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research
This paper outlines a hybrid modeling approach to facilitate weather-based operation and energy optimization for the largest Italian wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Two clustering methods, K-means algorithm and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based o...

Predictive models for wastewater flow forecasting based on time series analysis and artificial neural network.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research
Wastewater flow forecasting is key for proper management of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, to predict the amount of incoming wastewater in WWTPs, wastewater engineers face challenges arising from numerous complexities and uncertainties...
