Improvement of artificial neural network model for the prediction of wastewater treatment plant performance

A statistical modeling tool called artificial neural network (ANN) is used in this work to predict the performance of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Extensive influent and effluent parameters database containing measured data spanning over two years of period was used to develop and train ANN us...
