Synergistic Application of Artificial Intelligence and Activated Sludge Simulation Software in Wastewater Treatment
Artificial intelligence has a strong ability to deal with complex nonlinear dynamic problems and has become a popular tool for simulation,prediction,and optimization in wastewater treatment systems.The insufficient quantity or poor quality of training data provided by actual wastewater treatment systems is a major obstacle restricting the application of artificial intelligence in the field of sewage treatment.Activated sludge simulation software can accurately simulate real wastewater treatment systems and provide rich high-quality training data for artificial intelligence.Meanwhile,artificial intelligence can expand the functions and application scenarios of activated sludge simulation software.However,there are few literatures on the collaborative application of artificial intelligence and activated sludge simulation software.Thus,this study comprehensively summarizes the characteristics and current situation of artificial intelligence,activated sludge simulation software,and their synergistic applications.Moreover,relevant classical or new cases are provided and analyzed in this study.Finally,four future research directions are also proposed.This study can offer research insights for the synergistic application of artificial intelligence and activated sludge simulation software.
