Abstract
Applications of artificial neural networks to in situ assessment of water quality are considered by means of an online optical scatter nephelometer. Light scattered by suspensions of oil in water is investigated for three different oils in the concentration range 0-100 parts per million by volume. An artificial neural network is designed to recognise the oil species and output its concentration to within an accuracy of 5.4%. Applications of the technique to more general classes of suspensions are discussed
