Water has a major role in virtually every product that is
produced by industry. Water is used for various applications and
its quality changes due to introduction of contaminants. The
remediation of industrial wastewaters requires more robust
treatment schemes than typical municipal wastewater treatment
systems. This is because the characteristics of industrial wastewater
treatment plant influents vary from one plant to another
depending on the activities and time. Moreover the composition of
industrial wastewaters is characterized by diversified high
concentrated constituents [1]. It is rare to have a homogeneous
influent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) [2]. Traditional
WWTPs have been designed based on historical design practices
which has conservative design guidelines and standards. Procedures
are often passed from one operator to another without
considering new approaches that might improve the performance
or reduce the costs.
Literatures have shown that WWTPs
