Assessment of wastewater quality indicators for wastewater treatment influent using an advanced logistic regression model

Influent quality indicators play a significant role in wastewater treatment plant performance due to their correlation with reactor operations and effluent quality. However, selecting a specific/best parameter indicator for predicting influent wastewater quality is one of the challenges in wastewa- ter treatment. This study, therefore, focused on determining suitable variables as influent quality indicators. For this purpose, a logistic regression model involving different inflow parameters from two wastewater treatment plants in Poland was used to identify the best wastewater parameter as a suitable indicator for operational monitoring, process control and simulation purpose. The results showed that the model is flexible enough to simultaneously predict two or three effective waste- water quality indicators. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis results showed a strong nonlinear relationship between the complex values of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and suspended solids.
