Membrane biological reactors combine the use of biological processes and membrane technology to treat wastewater. The use of biological treatment can be traced back to the late nineteenth century. It became a standard method of wastewater treatment by the 1930s (Rittmann, 1987). Both aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment methods have been extensively used to treat domestic and industrial w...

The use of membranes for treating wastewater is now widespread. Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have rapidly emerged as a key technology for both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment due to their ability to deliver high final effluent water quality and their relatively small footprint as compared to a conventional Activated Sludge (AS) process. The costs of MBRs have fallen by almost a fac...

This work focuses on the prediction of the two main nitrogenous variables that describe the water quality at the effluent of a Wastewater Treatment Plant. We have developed two kind of Neural Networks architectures based on considering only one output or, in the other hand, the usual five effluent variables that define the water quality: suspended solids, biochemical organic matter, chemical or...
