description | Wastewater quality modelling plays a vital role in planning and management of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). This paper develops a new hybrid machine learning model based on extreme learning machine (ELM) optimized by Bat algorithm (ELM-Bat) for modelling five day effluent biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). Specifically, this hybrid model combines the Bat algorithm for model parameters optimization and the standalone ELM. The proposed model was developed using historical measured effluents wastewater quality variables, i.e., the chemical oxygen demand (COD), temperature, pH, total suspended solid (TSS), specific conductance (SC) and the wastewater flow (Q). The performances of the hybrid ELM-Bat were compared with those of the multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), the random forest regression (RFR), the Gaussian process regression (GPR), the random vector functional link network (RVFL), and the multiple linear regression (MLR) models. By comparing several input variables combination, the improvement achieved in the accuracy of prediction through the hybrid ELM-Bat was quantified. All models were first calibrated using training dataset and later tested using validation and based on four performances metrics namely, root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), the correlation coefficient (R), and the Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency (NSE). In all, it is concluded that the ELM-Bat is the most accurate model when all the six input were included as input variables, and it outperforms all other benchmark models in terms of predictive accuracy, exhibiting RMSE, MAE, R and NSE values of approximately, 0.885, 0.781, 2.621, and 1.989, respectively. |
