Abstract Grey model (GM) and artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to predict suspended solids (SS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the effluent from sequence batch reactors of a hospital wastewater treatment plant (HWWTP). The results indicated that the minimum mean absolute percentage errors (MAPEs) of 23.14% and 51.73% for SS and COD could be achieved using genetic algorithm ANN (GAANN). The minimum prediction accuracy of 23.14% and 55.11% for SS and COD could be achieved. Contrarily, GM only required a small amount of data and the prediction accuracy was analogous to that of GAANN. In the first type of application, the MAPE values of SS for model prediction using GM (1, N ) and GM (1, 2) lay between 23.14% and 26.67%. The MAPE values of COD using GM (1, N ) were smaller than those of GM (1, 2). The results showed that the fitness was good for both GM (1, N ) and GM (1, 2) to predict SS. However, only GM (1, N ) was better for COD prediction as comparing to GM (1, 2). In the second type application, the MAPE values of SS and COD prediction using GM (1, 1) and rolling GM (1, 1) (RGM, i.e., 8 data before the point at which was considered to be predicted were used to construct model) lay between 24–28% and 37–52%, respectively. Furthermore, it was observed that influent pH has affected effluent SS and COD significantly. It suggested that if the influent pH could be adjusted appropriately, a better effluent SS and COD could be obtained.

Abstract In this study, three types of adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural network (ANN) were employed to predict suspended solids (SS eff ) and chemical oxygen demand (COD eff ) in the effluent from a hospital wastewater treatment plant. The results indicated that ANFIS statistically outperforms ANN in terms of effluent prediction. The minimum mean absolute percentage errors of 11.99% and 12.75% for SS eff and COD eff could be achieved using ANFIS. The maximum values of correlation coefficient for SS eff and COD eff were 0.75 and 0.92, respectively. The minimum mean square errors of 0.17 and 19.58, and the minimum root mean square errors of 0.41 and 4.42 for SS eff and COD eff could also be achieved. ANFISs architecture consists of both ANN and fuzzy logic including linguistic expression of membership functions and if–then rules, so it can overcome the limitations of traditional neural network and increase the prediction performance.

In this study, Grey model (GM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were employed to predict suspended solids (SSeff) and chemical oxygen demand (CODeff) in the effluent from a wastewater treatment plant in industrial park of Taiwan. When constructing model or predicting, the influent quality or online monitoring parameters were adopted as the input variables. ANN was also adopted for comparison. The results indicated that the minimum MAPEs of 16.13 and 9.85% for SSeff and CODeff could be achieved using GMs when online monitoring parameters were taken as the input variables. Although a good fitness could be achieved using ANN, they required a large quantity of data. Contrarily, GM only required a small amount of data (at least four data) and the prediction results were even better than those of ANN. Therefore, GM could be applied successfully in predicting effluent when the information was not sufficient. The results also indicated that these simple online monitoring parameters could be applied on prediction of effluent quality well.
