Measuring Phosphorus in Wastewater Using a Self-Organizing RBF Neural Network

摘要

In various implementations, methods and systems are designed for predicting effluent total phosphorus (TP) concentrations in an urban wastewater treatment process (WWTP). To improve efficiency of TP prediction, a particle swarm optimization self-organizing radial basis function (PSO-SORBF) neural network may be established. Implementations may adjust structures and parameters associated with the neural network to train the neural network. The implementations may predict the effluent TP concentrations with reasonably accuracy and allow timely measurement of the effluent TP concentrations. The implementations may further collect online information related to the estimated effluent TP concentrations. This may improve the quality of monitoring processes and enhance management of WWTP.
