An intelligent detection system of effluent total nitrogen (TN) based on fuzzy transfer learning algorithm belongs to the field of intelligent detection technology. To detect the TN concentration, the artificial neural network can be used to model wastewater treatment process due to the nonlinear approximation ability and learning ability. However, wastewater treatment process has the characteristic of time-varying dynamics and external disturbance, artificial neural network prediction method cannot acquire sufficient data to ensure the accuracy of TN prediction, and data loss and data deficiency will make the prediction model invalid. The invention proposed an intelligent detection system of effluent total nitrogen based on fuzzy transfer learning algorithm; the proposed system contains several functional modules, including detection instrument, data acquisition, data storage and TN prediction. For the TN prediction module, the fuzzy transfer learning algorithm build the fuzzy neural network based intelligent prediction model, which the parameters are adjusted by the transfer learning method.

A method of controlling addition rate of an odor control chemical to a wastewater line by adding odor control chemical to the wastewater. The method includes measuring a level of dissolved sulfides in the wastewater line using a sulfide probe placed in said wastewater line, transferring data on the level of dissolved sulfides to a computing unit, determining a required odor control chemical addition rate in said computing unit based on said level of dissolved sulfides, and adding the odor control chemical at said required addition rate. The method allows for accurate on-line control of the level of H.sub.2S in the wastewater line.

A scale suppression apparatus capable of suppressing in a low-priced manner the generation of silica-based scale and calcium-based scale in the influent water containing at least a silica component and a calcium component, a geothermal power generation system using the same, and a scale suppression method are provided. The scale suppression apparatus includes a chelating agent and alkaline agent addition unit injecting liquid containing a chelating agent and an alkaline agent into a pipe arrangement through which influent water such as geothermal water or the like flows, and a controller controlling a pump and a valve of the chelating agent and alkaline agent addition unit. The controller controls the injection of the chelating agent and the alkaline agent and stops of the injection based on the signal output from a scale detection unit for detecting a precipitation state of the scale.

A method and system of providing ultrapure water for semiconductor fabrication operations is provided. The water is treated by utilizing a free radical scavenging system and a free radical removal system.
