Abstract

Neural Networks are powerful tools and can be easily used for modeling industrial plants. This study refers to a sewage sludge treatment installation where neural networks are implemented in plant design and management support development systems. The initial plant modeling phase compared neural networks with traditional systems based on regressive polynomial meta-models. The subsequent phase presents an innovative method for developing management support tools.
