Summary
This study introduces an intelligent system for wastewater treatment using Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) and Since Cosine Algorithm (SCA). The DCNN-SCA model accurately predicts Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), improving wastewater management and environmental compliance.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Engineering
- Artificial Intelligence
- Water Resource Management
Background:
- Wastewater treatment systems (WWTS) face increasing environmental regulations and the need for better discharge management.
- Existing systems require advanced control and information management for residual fluid handling.
- Intelligent technologies are crucial for analyzing data and forecasting process behavior in WWTS.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate an intelligent system for predicting Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in wastewater treatment.
- To enhance the precision of wastewater treatment models through data analysis and forecasting.
- To optimize WWTS operations for improved environmental compliance and efficiency.
Main Methods:
- Incorporation of industrial data into a wastewater treatment model.
- Application of Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) and Since Cosine Algorithm (SCA) for prediction.
- Utilizing the DCNN-SCA model for process optimization and performance enhancement.
Main Results:
- The DCNN-SCA model accurately estimated Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in both influent and effluent.
- Experimental validation demonstrated superior predictive performance compared to existing techniques.
- The DCNN-SCA-WWTS model achieved high precision (97.63%), recall (96.37%), F-score (95.31%), and accuracy (96.27%) with low RMSE (27.55%) and MAPE (20.97%).
Conclusions:
- The DCNN-SCA model offers a robust and accurate solution for predicting wastewater properties like COD.
- Intelligent technologies, specifically DCNN and SCA, significantly improve the predictive capabilities of WWTS.
- This approach enhances operational efficiency and supports adherence to environmental regulations in water treatment facilities.
