Data to intelligence: The role of data-driven models in wastewater treatment

Majid Bahramian et al.

Summary: Increasing energy efficiency in wastewater treatment plants is crucial and exploiting data science and modelling, as well as deploying sensors and artificial intelligence, can help achieve this goal. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is the most popular standalone model for WWTP modelling, followed by Decision Trees (DT), Fuzzy Logic (FL), Genetic algorithm (GA), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Hybrid models, especially the Machine Learning (ML)-metaheuristic, demonstrate better performance than standalone models. Industrial deployment is still lacking, and future research should focus on enhancing collaboration between interested parties for more effective implementation.

Soft-computing modeling and multiresponse optimization for nutrient removal process from municipal wastewater using microalgae

S. M. Zakir Hossain et al.

Summary: This study develops empirical models for predicting the removal efficiencies of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus from municipal wastewater using microalgae. The effects of temperature, light-dark cycle, and nitrate-to-phosphate ratio on simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus were identified. Three competitive soft-computing techniques were used to construct predictive models, and the support vector regression (SVR) model was found to be the most accurate. The SVR models were also able to predict removal efficiencies under different conditions when simulated data was added. Finally, the models were hybridized with a genetic algorithm to optimize nutrient removal efficiency.
