Mathematical modelling is an indispensable tool to support water resource recovery facility
(WRRF) operators and engineers with the ambition of creating a truly circular economy and …

The so-called fourth revolution in the water sector will encounter the Big data and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) revolution. The current data surplus stemming from all types of devices …

In cell culture processes cell growth and metabolism drive changes in the chemical
environment of the culture. These environmental changes elicit reactor control actions, cell …

Multi-microorganism solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a traditional technique to produce
fermented foods. However, the fermentation kinetics is difficult to establish due to the …

Ammonia control in municipal wastewater treatment plants typically requires maintenance-
intensive instrumentation. A low maintenance alternative is sought for small-to medium …

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were considered suitable candidates for a range of
industrial applications, including adsorption, separation, sensing and catalysis, due to their …

To this day, obtaining reliable characterization of sludge settling properties remains a
challenging and time-consuming task. Without such assessments however, optimal design …

Shape constrained spline fitting is a useful method to impose prior knowledge onto flexible
semi-parametric models during parameter estimation. Most typically, the function shape is …

Sensor drift is commonly observed across engineering disciplines, particularly in harsh
media such as wastewater. In this study, a novel stabilizing controller for nitrification of high …

Second-order cone programming is a highly tractable convex optimization class. In this
paper, we fit general second-order cone constraints to data. This is of use when one must …
