Thesis

Development of a Universal Calibration Method for the On-line Analysis of Drinking Water Quality based on Neural Computing Techniques

Description

Development of a new analytical method that enables traditional laboratory based sensor to be converted to autonomous in-situ sensor. The method enables accurate, on-line measurements to be obtained in situ, without calibration, reagents or maintenance being required. In essence the new method enables traditional analytical sensors to function accurately in dynamic measurement environments.
