techniques for the better control of membrane fouling in filtration processes, with the focus
on water and wastewater treatment systems. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), fuzzy logic,
genetic programming and model trees were found to be four successfully employed
modeling techniques. The results show that well-known ANNs such as multilayer perceptron
and radial basis function can predict membrane fouling with an R 2 equal to 0.99 and an …
