Optimal Parameter Determination of Membrane Bioreactor to Boost Biohydrogen Production-Based Integration of ANFIS Modeling and Honey Badger Algorithm

Abstract

Hydrogen is a new promising energy source. Three operating parameters, including inlet gas flow rate, pH and impeller speed, mainly determine the biohydrogen production from membrane bioreactor. The work aims to boost biohydrogen production by determining the optimal values of the control parameters. The proposed methodology contains two parts: modeling and parameter estimation. A robust ANIFS model to simulate a membrane bioreactor has been constructed for the modeling stage. Compared with RMS, thanks to ANFIS, the RMSE decreased from 2.89 using ANOVA to 0.0183 using ANFIS. Capturing the proper correlation between the inputs and output of the membrane bioreactor process system encourages the constructed ANFIS model to predict the output performance exactly. Then, the optimal operating parameters were identified using the honey badger algorithm. During the optimization process, inlet gas flow rate, pH and impeller speed are used as decision variables, whereas the biohydrogen production is the objective function required to be maximum. The integration between ANFIS and HBA boosted the hydrogen production yield from 23.8 L to 25.52 L, increasing by 7.22%.

Maximization of CO2 Capture Capacity Using Recent RUNge Kutta Optimizer and Fuzzy Model

“…Although physical and mathematical modeling have made significant progress in simulating various processes, their accuracy is still constrained by the constants and parameters that are often presupposed [28,29]. Artificial intelligence has demonstrated high effectiveness in the accurate modeling and optimization of various processes, such as biodiesel production from palm kernel shell [30], electricity generation in fuel cells [31][32][33], microbial fuel cells [34][35][36], alternative fuels [37], heat transfer and waste heat recovery [38][39][40], biohydrogen production [41,42], etc. As a general rule, system identification and parameter identification applications, optimization is a critical technique [34,43].…”

Optimized Artificial Intelligent Model to Boost the Efficiency of Saline Wastewater Treatment Based on Hunger Games Search Algorithm and ANFIS

“…Artificial intelligence (AI) is a robust modelling and optimization method that is effectively used in various processes [38]. AI was applied successfully to modelling and optimizing the performance of microbial fuel cells in terms of increasing the power production at higher COD removal [22,39], biodiesel production [40,41], syngas production [42][43][44], biohydrogen production [45,46], power output of solid oxide fuel cells [47,48], carbon capture [49,50], and wastewater treatment [51]. Consequently, this work aims to improve the performance of the electrochemical oxidation process by simultaneously boosting the COD and TOC removal efficiencies using artificial intelligence and modern optimization.…”
