The Development of a Neuro-Fuzzy Expert System for Wastewater Treatment Processes Monitoring
Mădălina Cărbureanu, Alina Simona Baiesu · Revista de Chimie · 2018
This paper presents the extension of the hardware-software experimental system SENFpHCTRL initially developed for wastewater pH control, for monitoring other parameters (total suspended solids, extractable, biochemical and chemical oxygen demand, phenols and chlorides) from other chemical processes of a treatment plant, such as: precipitation, coagulation and flocculation, oxidation and reduction (processes briefly presented at the begining of the paper). The process of expanding the SENFpHCTRL system involved the adding to the initial expert system of a set of heuristic knowledge for other parameters and the development of the system graphical interface. It is also presented the adapted form of the system hardware component at PC and microcontroller level and the results of the simulations made with the extended system.
