1. Method of regulating a membrane filtration plant, especially in a potable water production station, designed so as to prevent irreversible clogging of the membranes while maximizing the productivity, whatever the quality of the fluid entering the plant, characterized in that it consists in slaving the plant operating parameters to the performance characteristics induced by the quality of the fluid to be treated, according to the predictions about the change in membrane clogging made by neural network modelling so as to simulate the long-term operation of the membrane filtration plant, the model making it possible:

  • according to the quality of the incoming fluid and the state of the membranes during a given cycle, to calculate the change in the state of clogging of the said membranes as a function of time, over a defined horizon, the said calculation being carried out for a simulated quality of the incoming fluid, the said quality being constant or varying, over this horizon (H), and to monitor and adjust the plant operating parameters.
