Prediction and optimization on water quality parameters (WQPs) have become more and more important to the wastewater treatment system (WWTs). In this study, the genetic algorithm backpropagation neural network model (GA-BPNN) had been used to predict and optimize WQPs of a low-strengthen complex wastewater treatment system (LSCWWTs). Results showed that the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and measured values were R2 =0.946 for COD, R2=0.962 for BOD, R2=0.933 for TN, R2=0.985 for NH3-N, R2=0.969 for TP, and R2=0.968 for SS, indicating the predictive values by the GA-BPNN model well fitted the mesured values of effluent WQPs. The optimal effluent WQPs were COD=27.6mg/L, BOD=7.1mg/L, TN=5.4mg/L, NH3-N=0.9mg/L, TP=0.11mg/L and SS=9.25mg/L, respectively. And the corresponding operating parameters were MLSS=3045.4mg/L, MLVSS=2405.9mg/L, T=23.2 °C, R=1.4, SRT=12.5d, HRT=17.3h, CODin =643.3mg/L, BODin=342.2mg/L, TNin=54.2mg/L, NH3-Nin=45.3mg/L, TPin=4.9mg/L, SSin=452.6mg/L, which could be beneficial to the operation optimization of LSCWWTs.

Sustainability study of the standard wastewater treatment system is the pivotal procedure in the water protection field. In order to better study the sustainability of sewage treatment systems, wastewater treatment system of straw pulp papermaking (WTSPP) and wastewater treatment system of printing and dyeing and papermaking (WTPDP) have been selected to assess the sustainable level in China. Based on the hybrid neural network and emergy framework, WTSPP and WTPDP were considered and analyzed in this paper. Therein, three types of indicators were used to evaluate these two systems, including basic structure emergy indicators (BEI), functional emergy indicators (FEI), and eco-efficiency emergy indicators (EEI). Through the basic neural network model and detailed neural network model design, the iteration paths and algorithm operation diagram of WTSPP and WTPDP were designed and realized in this article. Primary contents include: (1) For WTSPP and WTPDP, nonrenewable resources emergy are both the primary contributor and account for roughly 62.5% and 53.7%, respectively. (2) As the important indicator group, the environmental loading ratio (ELR) is 176 in the WTSPP and 323 in the WTPDP, respectively. Emergy sustainability indicators (ESIs) in the WTSPP and WTPDP, are 0.015 and 0.014, respectively. (3) Depending on fluctuation degrees, WTSPP is better than WTPDP. The maximum fluctuation ranges of WTSPP and WTPDP are (3%, −27%) and (28%, 61%), respectively. (4) All neural network analysis results manifest that the emergy sustainability indicators (ESIs) of WTSPP and WTPDP are [0.0151, 0.011] and [0.0179, 0.0055] in view of a long-term predictive view, respectively.

The present study investigates the effectiveness of evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA) evolved neural network in estimating roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) characteristics including flexural and compressive strength of RCC and also energy absorbency of mixes with different compositions. A real coded GA was implemented as training algorithm of feed forward neural network to simulate the models. The genetic operators were carefully selected to optimize the neural network, avoiding premature convergence and permutation problems. To evaluate the performance of the genetic algorithm neural network model, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency criterion was employed and also utilized as fitness function for genetic algorithm which is a different approach for fitting in this area. The results showed that the GA-based neural network model gives a superior modeling. The well-trained neural network can be used as a useful tool for modeling RCC specifications.
