Automation of Bio-Floc System

Project Title

Automation of Bio-Floc System

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

Bio-floc technology is an eco-friendly approach. The microbial community in bio-floc system is able to utilize dissolved nitrogen leached from fish excreta and convert them into microbial protein. Bio-floc meal could be utilized in brooder and larval feed to obtain better reproductive/growth performance.

Farmer have to check different factors (DO level, PH level, Ammonia level, etc.) in water manually. There is no accurate information that they got. High mortality level in bio-floc due to unaccurate information. Any fluctuation in any factor in water is maintained manually.

Sense the bio-floc system using sensor and calculate accurate readings of different factors in bio-Floc. If there is any problem with any parameter of water, it will send a message to the respective person and system will handle it automatically as well.

The main objective of system is to maintain/control the system automatically. It will also helpful in decreasing the mortality rate of product. It will also improve the water quality in the bio-floc.

Project Objectives

We are going to develop a hardware based project, in which we will use multiple sensors to monitor different parameters of the system and if there is any fluctuation in any parameter of water system will handle it automatically, and also develop an application which will show the monitoring of whole system.

Project Implementation Method

For this purpose, we will use multiple sensors like Water level Sensor, Temperature sensor, PH level Sensor, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Sensor, Ammonia level Sensor, Lora Sensors, turbidity sensor and other hardwares like Arduino UNO Board, Lora Wan Gateway, Aeration machine, Eco water pump, Relay, Fully furnished tank(Tarpaulin sheet, drainage pipe, Aeration node ,Tub).

These hardwares will use to monitor the system, get the information from the system and if there is any fluctuation in any parameter of water, system will handle it automatically.

The output of sensors will provide to Arduino UNO as input and the output of Arduino UNO will display on mobile application.

Benefits of the Project

Benifits of this project are : 

->It will give us accurate information rather than estimation

->This system will provide us higher biosecurity

->It will help us in recuding the mortality rate of fishes

->This system will reduce the environmental effects

->Greater Productivity fishes

->Imported fishes can be produced locally

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Sensors will get the information from different parameters of water and transfer it to Aurduino board and than send the information to android application to check accurate values.
