Modelling water treatment process by artifical neural network

Abstract

Recently, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are applied widely. This article presents an application of ANN on environmental Engineering. Research includes (i) Review of wastewater treatment processes modeling, (ii) Brief of theory of Artificial Neural Network, (iii) Case study. The predicting results are rather small with MAE = 0.136055 and RMSE = 0.084701, this MatLab based program with some innovated characteristics can be applied for predicting of the outputs of a wastewater treatment plant reliably.
