    (Desalination Publ, 2019) Baki, Osman Tugrul; Aras, Egemen; Akdemir, Ummukulsum Ozel; Yilmaz, Banu
    The management and operation of the wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) have an important role in the controlling and monitoring of the plants' operations. Various performance data are taken into account in the controlling of the WWTP. The irregularities between operating parameters often lead to management problems that cannot be overcome. The aim of this study is to provide a simple and reliable prediction model to estimate the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) with specific water quality parameters like wastewater temperature, pH, chemical oxygen demand, suspended sediment, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, electrical conductivity, and input discharge. The data records in this study were measured between June 2015 and May 2016 and obtained from the laboratory of Antalya Hurma WWTP. In the creation of the model, classical regression analysis, multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), artificial bee colony, and teaching-learning based optimization were used. The root mean square error and the mean absolute error were used to evaluate performance criteria for each model. When the results of the analyses were compared with each other, it was observed that the MARS method gave better estimation results than the other methods used in the study. As a result, it was evinced that the MARS method produces acceptable results in the BOD estimation.

    Prediction of suspended sediment loading by means of hybrid artificial intelligence approaches
    (Springer International Publishing Ag, 2019) Yilmaz, Banu; Aras, Egemen; Kankal, Murat; Nacar, Sinan
    The main aim of the research is to use the artificial neural network (ANN) model with the artificial bee colony (ABC) and teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithms for estimating suspended sediment loading. The stream flow per month and SSL data obtained from two stations, Inanli and Altinsu, in Coruh River Basin of Turkey were taken as precedent. While stream flow and previous SSL were used as input parameters, only SSL data were used as output parameters for all models. The successes of the ANN-ABC and ANN-TLBO models that were developed in the research were contrasted with performance of conventional ANN model trained by BP (back-propagation). In addition to these algorithms, linear regression method was applied and compared with others. Root-mean-square and mean absolute error were used as success assessing criteria for model accuracy. When the overall situation is evaluated according to errors of the testing datasets, it was found that ANN-ABC and ANN-TLBO algorithms are more outstanding than conventional ANN model trained by BP.
