Popis: A diagnosis expert system for the activated sludge process was developed in conformity to our experience and reported studies. Using the biota observed by microscopic and data measurement easily obtained, i.e. pH or DO etc., the process treatability or the activated sludge condition was diagnosed and evaluated by this system. In this paper, the effectiveness of the diagnosis expert system was investigated using the microscopic and measurement results from both the actual sewage treatment plant and the bench-scale experiment. As a result, the low loading and the progress of nitrification were presumed in the case of the actual plant and the variations of treatment condition depending on DO set values were evaluated satisfactorily in the case of the bench-scale experiment. Therefore, it was shown that this system was applicable to the diagnosis of the activated sludge process.
