Membrane bioreactor employs an efficient filtration technology for solid and liquid separation in wastewater treatment process. Development of membrane filtration model is significant as this model can be used to predict filtration dynamic which is later utilized in control development. Most of the available models only suitable for monitoring purpose, which are too complex, required many variables and not suitable for control system design. This work focusing on the simple time seris model for membrane filtration process using neural network technique. In this paper, submerged membrane filtration model developed using recurrent neural network (RNN) train using genetic algorithm (GA), inertia weight particle swarm optimization (IW-PSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA). These optimization algorithms are compared in term of its accuracy and convergent speed in updating the weights and biases of the RNN for optimal filtration model. The evaluation of the models is measured using three performance evaluations, which are mean square error (MSE), mean absolute deviation (MAD) and coefficient of determination (R2). From the results obtained, all methods yield satisfactory result for the model, with the best results given by IW-PSO.

The optimization of artificial neural networks (ANN) topology for predicting permeate flux of palm oil mill effluent (POME) in membrane bioreactor (MBR) filtration has been investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). A radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) model, trained by gradient descent with momentum (GDM) algorithms was developed to correlate output (permeate flux) to the four exogenous input variables (airflow rate, transmembrane pressure, permeate pump and aeration pump). A second-order polynomial model was developed from training results for natural log mean square error of 50 developed ANNs to generate 3D response surfaces. The optimum ANN topology had minimum ln MSE when the number of hidden neurons, spread, momentum coefficient, learning rate and number of epochs were 16, 1.4, 0.28, 0.3 and 1852, respectively. The MSE and regression coeffcient of the ANN model were determined as 0.0022 and 0.9906 for training, 0.0052 and 0.9839 for testing and 0.0217 and 0.9707 for validation data sets. These results confirmed that combining RSM and ANN was precise for predicting permeates flux of POME on MBR system. This development may have significant potential to improve model accuracy and reduce computational time.

The modeling of membrane filtration processes is a challenging task because it involves many interactions from both biological and physical operational behavior. Membrane fouling behaviour in filtration processes is complex and hard to understand, and to derive a robust model is almost not possible. Therefore, it is the aim of this paper to study the potential of time series neural network based dynamic model for a submerged membrane filtration process. The developed model that represent the dynamic behavior of filtration process is later used in control design of the membrane filtration processes. In order to obtain the dynamic behaviour of permeate flux and transmembrane pressure (TMP), a random step was applied to the suction pump. A recurrent neural network (RNN) structure was employed to perform as the dynamic models of a filtration process, based on nonlinear auto-regressive with exogenous input (NARX) model structure. These models are compared with the linear auto-regressive with exogenous input (ARX) model. The performance of the models were evaluated in terms of %R2, mean square error (MSE,) and a mean absolute deviation (MAD). For filtration control performance, a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller was implemented. The results showed that the RNN-NARX structure able to model the dynamic behavior of the filtration process under normal conditions in short range of the filtration process. The developed model can also be a reliable assistant for two different control strategies development in filtration processes.

Water quality index is a measure of water quality at a certain location and over a period of time. High value indicates that the water is unsafe for drinking and inadequate in quality to meet the designated uses. Most of the classical models are unreliable producing unpromising forecasting results. This study presents Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and a Multi Linear Regression (MLR) as the classical linear model for estimating the Water Quality Index (WQI) of Palla station of Yamuna river, India. Full-scale data of the river were used in validating the models. Performance measures such as Mean Square Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Determination Coefficient (DC) were utilized in evaluating the accuracy and performance of the models. The obtained result depicted the superiority of AI models over the MLR model. The results also indicated that, the best model of both ANN and ANFIS proved high improvement in performance accuracy over MLR up to 10% in the verification phase. The difference between ANN and ANFIS accuracy is negligible due to a slight increment in performance accuracy indicating that both ANN and ANFIS could serve as reliable models for the estimation of WQI.

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is one of the best solutions for water and wastewater treatment systems in producing high quality effluent that meets its standard regulations. However, fouling is one of the main issues in membrane filtration for membrane bioreactor system. The prediction of fouling is crucial in the membrane bioreactor control system design. This paper presents an intelligence modeling system so called artificial neural network (ANN). The feedforward neural network (FFNN), radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and nonlinear autoregressive exogenous neural network (NARXNN) are applied to model the submerged MBR filtration system. The simulation results show good predictions for all methods which the highest performance of the model given by RBFNN. Based on the developed models, the neural network internal model control (NNIMC) is implemented to control fouling development in membrane filtration process. Three different control structures of the NNIMC are proposed. The FFNN IMC, RBFNN IMC and NARXNN IMC controllers are compared to the conventional IMC. The RBFNN IMC has a superior performance both in tracking and disturbance rejections.

The main challenges to achieving a reliable model which can predict well the process are the nonlinearities associated with many biological and biochemical processes in the system. Artificial intelligent approaches revolved as better alternative in predicting the system. Typical measured variables for effluent quality of wastewater treatment plant are pH, and mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS). This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and feed-forward neural network (FFNN) modeling applied to the domestic plant of the Bunus regional sewage treatment plant. ANFIS and feed- forward neural network techniques as nonlinear function approximators have demonstrated the capability of predicting nonlinear behaviour of the system. The data for the period of two years and nine months sampled weekly (140 week samples) were collected and used for this study. Simulation studies showed that the prediction capability of the ANFIS model is somehow better than that of the FFNN model. The ANFIS model may serves as a valuable prediction tool for the plant.

To comply with growing demand for high effluent quality of Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), a simple and reliable prediction model is thus needed. The wastewater treatment technology considered in this paper is an Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS). The AGS systems are fundamentally complex due to uncertainty and non-linearity of the system makes it hard to predict. This paper presents model predictions and optimization as a tool in predicting the performance of the AGS. The input-output data used in model prediction are (COD, TN, TP, AN, and MLSS). After feature analysis, the prediction of the models using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) are developed and compared. The simulation of the model uses the experimental data obtained from Sequencing Batch Reactor under hot temperature of 50˚C. The simulation results indicated that the SVM is preferable to FFNN and it can provide a useful tool in predicting the effluent quality of WWTP.

Data-driven control requires no information of the mathematical model of the controlled process. This paper proposes the direct identification of controller parameters of activated sludge process. This class of data-driven control calculates the predictive controller parameters directly using subspace identification technique. By updating input-output data using receding window mechanism, the adaptive strategy can be achieved. The robustness test and stability analysis of direct adaptive model predictive control are discussed to realize the effectiveness of this adaptive control scheme. The applicability of the controller algorithm to adapt into varying kinetic parameters and operating conditions is evaluated. Simulation results show that by a proper and effective excitation of direct identification of controller parameters, the convergence and stability of the implicit predictive model can be achieved.

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is one of the treatment methods often used in wastewater systems. The dynamic behavior of AGS is complex and hard to predict especially when it comes to a limited data set. Theoretically, support vector machine (SVM) is a good prediction tool in handling limited data set. In this paper, an improved SVM using optimization approaches for better predictions is proposed. Two different types of optimization are built which are particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA). The prediction of the models using SVM-PSO, SVM-GA and SVM-Grid Search are developed and compared prior to several feature analysis for verification purposes. The experimental data under hot temperature of 50˚C obtained from sequencing batch reactor is used. From simulation results, the proposed SVM with optimizations improve the prediction of chemical oxygen demand compared to the conventional grid search method and hence provide better prediction of effluent quality using AGS wastewater treatment systems.
