This paper presents fuzzy identification of two bioprocesses employing TSK-type models. A “Modified Gram-Schmidt” (MGS) orthogonal estimator is used to estimate the consequent parameters. This approach is then applied to identify two distinct cases involving dissolved oxygen concentration: one related to a bioreactor and the other one related to an activated sludge process. The obtained models are then cross-validated.
