New decision support system for biogas and electricity forecast in wastewater t...

Anaerobic digestion processes are often implemented by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to stabilize and decrease the organic content of primary and secondary sludges. Additionally, this process allows to increase the energetic efficiency of WWTPs. Data from a digestor of a WWTP from the North of Portugal was used to study and design two machine learning models, LSTM-based and GRU-based, to predict energy pr...
