Why was the paper selected for Editor's Choice?
Traditional approaches to modelling of treatment processes have been premised on mathematical approximations of the bio-chemical processes. This paper introduces an alternative approach based on deep-learning concepts using agents. The need for data generation through modelling is a desire to decrease the energy consumption at membrane bioreactor (MBR) plants. It was found using this approach that the MBR’s aeration energy consumption could be reduced by 34%.
