Abstract

Sulfide oxidation rate of a fluidized bed bioreactor was predicted using ANN, with upflow velocity, hydraulic retention time, reactor operation time and pH given as input. The reactor was fed with 100mg/L synthetic sulfide wastewater after biofilm formation on nylon support particles. Feedforward neural network model was prepared using 81 data sets, of which 63 were used for training and 18 for testing in a three-way cross validation. Prediction performance of the network was evaluated by calculating the percent error of each data set and mean square error for test data set in three partitions. The mean square error for test data set was 5.55, 4.08 and 2.30 for partition 1, partition 2 and partition 3, respectively. The predicted sulfide oxidation values correlated with the experimental values and a correlation coefficient of 0.96, 0.97 and 0.98 was obtained for partition 1, partition 2 and partition 3, respectively.
