The aeration process is the largest energy consumer in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and the optimization of the process based on computational models can offer significant savings for the plant. Recent theoretical developments have revealed that many of the parameters commonly assumed as constants in aeration modelling, in fact, have a dynamic nature; however, there still lacks a universal way to model these factors in an easy, accurate and timely manner. This work proposed a machine learning-based modelling approach to offer real-time estimations of the oxygen transfer rate, airflow demand, and energy consumption.
