Modeling and control of an aeration tank using artificial neural network

In recent years Industrial processes produce a variety of waste water pollutants, some are difficult and/or costly to treat. Waste water characteristics and level of pollutants vary significantly by industry. The task of various waste water control system is to adjust the amount of impurities in the...
