The economization and commercialization of the bio fuels production from microalgae require solving some problems facing it. One of the most important and expensive stages is the separation of microalgae from the medium culture. The modelling of Separation biological processes can be used as a safe tool to save the economy and avoid repeated testing. Among the methods of modelling, artificial neural network is accurate and widely used in biotechnological processes. Results of the study showed that correlation coefficient reached 1 indicating that there is a good match between actual values and those predicted by modelling. From a total of 18 data, two-thirds of data was used to train a network and the remaining third was used to assess the modelling accuracy. The middle transition function purelin , output transfer function tansig and the number of neurons (five) were determined as the best parameters to train the network. The error rate of network training was estimated to be 0.0511 and error evaluation of the network accuracy was found to be 0.992.References
