OPTIMIZATION OF DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PROCESSES USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK

Drinking water treatment is the process of removing microorganisms and solid from water through different methods such as coagulation and filtration. Artificial neural network (ANN) was developed for process and cost optimization of drinking water treatment processes. Results obtained from ANN model showed that ANN is a suitable tool for the improvement of overall process performance and cost effectiveness in drinking water treatment. There was cost reduction, process safety improvement, and high stability in ANN application of water treatment.
