Predicting the total suspended solids in wastewater: A data-mining approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Total suspended solids (TSS) are a major pollutant that affects waterways all over the world. Predicting the values of TSS is of interest to quality control of wastewater processing. Due to infrequent measurements, time series data for TSS are constructed using influent flow rate and influent carbonaceous bio-chemical oxygen demand (CBOD). We investigated different scenarios of daily average influent CBOD and influent flow rate measured at 15 min intervals. Then, we used five datamining algorithms, i.e., multi-layered perceptron, k-nearest neighbor, multi-variate adaptive regression spline, support vector machine, and random forest, to construct day-ahead, time-series prediction models for TSS. Historical TSS values were used as input parameters to predict current and future values of TSS. A sliding-window approach was used to improve the results of the predictions. & 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملWastewater Treatment of Stone Cutting Industries by Coagulation Process
Background & Aims of the Study: The wastewater created as a result of stone cutting industries enters some pools for re-consumption so that its suspended solids settle by gravity. By taking to account the high volume of water and sludge, treatment of wastewater and removal of sludge cause many problems for stone cutting units. The objective of this study was to determine the quality of wast...
