Expert System Design for Sewage Treatment Plant

Nowadays the field of centralized control is linked to major production processes or industrial applications, where the flow of information allows optimizing the total production process. In the area of small to medium enterprises (SMEs) (Wang & Kai-Yi, 2009), however it is still underdeveloped (Liao, 2009). Perhaps the reason is not the lack of capacity for the design or the cost of the technology, but the lack of vision and lack of skills, in addition to the benefits obtained with this type of automation. Added to this that the current diversity and technological capability allows to choose a wide range of both technical and economic possibilities. As a result, it is possible to select the technology in order to balance the binomial needs–costs.
