SPM: combining BISM with machine learning

SPM, the Swift Prediction Model, combines BISM with machine learning, using a verified process model as the basis for fast prediction and real-time control.

BISM generates training data

The mechanistic model supplies extensive, high-quality synthetic data where historical sewer observations are scarce.

Machine learning builds a fast prediction model

Algorithms learn the complex relationship between wastewater quantity, quality and H₂S concentrations to approximate BISM responses.

SPM supports real-time control

Fast H₂S predictions support control adjustments, helping reduce overdosing and control failure.
