A Study On Detecting The Presence Of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria Using Artificial Neural Network Based On Electronic Sensor Data

Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are nonpathogenic and anaerobic bacteria (cannot grow with the presence of oxygen). SRB can produce enzyme to accelerate the reduction of sulfate compounds to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) that corrodes metal. There are a few methods of detecting SRB such as laboratory an...
