Abstract
EN The aim of the research was to develop and evaluate the usefulness of artificial neural network models for predicting the key operating parameters of centrifugal settlers. Various settler structures were analyzed, taking into account such elements as internal partitions and also inlet and outlet nozzles. Neural network modeling was continued until the highest possible quality was achieved in terms of training, testing and validation, with the occurrence of errors also being minimized. This process involved multiple iterations and adjustments of the network’s parameters to achieve optimal results. It was shown that artificial neural networks are characterized by having high accuracy in predicting the efficiency and damming values of centrifungal sedimentation tanks with regards to their design and hydraulic load. The designed network is able to determine both efficiency and liquid level with satisfactory accuracy.
