Real-time Artificial Intelligence Control and Optimization of a Full-scale WTP


Book Description

This study shows that advanced artificial neural network (ANN) model-based control systems can be used for drinking water treatment process control. ANN technology, an artificial intelligence technology that has the ability to learn patterns and relationships contained in sets of data, is the most powerful modeling tool currently available to the drinking water treatment industry. ANN predicts the output of a process given the values of process inputs and process control variables. The results of this project have the potential to revolutionize the way in which drinking water utilities optimize and control their unit processes to efficiently and consistently supply high quality drinking water

Integrating UV Disinfection Into Existing Water Treatment Plants


Book Description

"... Because of the dual benefit of effectively treating against Cryptosporidium and Giardia, many utilities are viewing UV disinfection as a potential means for meeting upcoming regulatory requirements of increased levels of disinfection with no appreciable increase in disinfection byproducts. As part of a multi-barrier treatment process, UV disinfection has the potential of meeting these restrictive requirements." -- Introduction, p. 1.
