Overview
About the project
However, bacterial concentration present along the different stages of treatment process is not easily measured routinely for the plant operators. A moving horizon sensing approach based on neural networks has been proposed in for measuring the bacteria concentration from easy to measure variables. The obtained model has been successfully tested on KAUST wastewater plant. In this project, the student will test and extend the model to other sets of data. A particular interest will be on incorporating self-calibration or self-training strategies to guarantee good performance of the proposed algorithm. The Developing a Soft Sensor to Monitor Water Quality (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University Of Science and Technology (KAUST).
