Simulation of an industrial wastewater treatment plant using artificial neural networks and principal components analysis

This work presents a way to predict the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of the output stream of the biological wastewater treatment plant at RIPASA S/A Celulose e Papel, one of the major pulp and paper plants in Brazil. The best prediction performance is achieved when the data are preprocessed using...
