Abstract:

Chemical oxygen demand and suspended solid were important monitoring indices of effluent discharge in paper-making industry. An effective model of effluent quality of wastewater treatment processes was of key importance to monitoring and controlling pollution emission. Concerning the strong correlations among the input variables and the complicated characteristics of wastewater treatment processes in paper-making industry, partial least squares (PLS) method was applied to extract information of variables importance in projection (VIP) for variable selection (VS). Then the optimal variables were chosen as new input variables for soft sensor models to predict the effluent qualities of a papermaking wastewater treatment process. Compared to the LSSVM model, the root mean square error (RMSE) of VS-based LSSVM model was reduced by 15.2%, and the correlation coefficient (r) was increased by 14.4%. For the effluent SS, the value of RMSE was decreased by 20.5%, and the value of r was increased by 16.1%. The results showed that the proposed method not only reduced the model complexity, but also enhanced the model generalization capacity.

Key words: wastewater treatment, effluent quality, variable selection, variables importance in projection, partial least squares
