Project Summary

The process of eliminating impurities from the water and making it safe drinking water is termed as waste-water treatment. The waste water is purified by passing it through different stages those are sediment filter, HP pump and RO membrane by localizing different valves, transmitters and sensors (water level and water flow), finally the quality of output of water check through pH sensor. The physical infrastructure for waste-water treatment is referred to as a "Waste-Water Treatment Plant" (WWTP). "Smart waste-water treatment plant which is a system that controls the plant electronically by using several control loops along with automated controllers spread over the whole system. The development of nations is inevitably linked to the water. But unsustainable development is putting pressure on water resources: such that, by 2030, global demand for water is expected to increase approx. by 50%.  Meanwhile, agriculture (which currently consumes around 70% of global water usage) is expected to experience a 70% increase in demand by 2050. Thus, Lack of water purification resources, especially in remote areas. Therefore, we design a smart waste-water treatment plant. This system can be implemented in small as well as large industries. It basically reduces the human effort and increase the efficiency. 

Project Objectives

1. To develop a low-cost waste-water treatment plant.
2. To boost productivity by regularly monitoring membrane efficiency.
3. To maintain the optimum possible water temperature, pressure, and flow rate over the plant.
4. To hold on the records of the product water's quality.
5. To maintain the water's TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and pH percent at the output.  

Project Implementation Method

Smart waste water treatment plant can be implemented in small as well as domestic industries. It basically reduces the human effort and increase the efficiency. The main application of this project could be the implementation of it in the remote areas as it will be cost effective.

Benefits of the Project

The scope of this research is to implement a cost-effective waste-water treatment plant to recycle the available water, remove contaminants (poisonous substance) from either sewage or drainage(storm-water) and convert it into safe pure drinking water. Waste water from this plant can be used for irrigation, industrial purposes such as process water for power plants, refineries, mills, factories, cooling tower, feed water, and residential usage like toilet flushing.

The smart waste water treatment plant uses efficient purification system. Apart from the technologies used in the local RO plants it uses enhanced TDS level checkers. We are introducing a waste water treatment system which is automated. Using multiple tools to regulate and monitor the membrane gives us the advantage over local RO systems. We maintain the optimum possible water temperature, pressure, and flow rate over the plant, giving us the hegemony over the local RO plants. Local waste water treatment plants do not keep the record of the product water's quality. We keep track and record of every movement in our whole system. We are treating waste water above 1000 TDS level. Meanwhile, the locals here do not have the capacity and methods to treat the water having more than 1000 TDS level. Our smart system includes tools like sensors, transmitters, high pressure pumps, and relays which makes our model a bit expensive. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The traditional waste-water treatment procedure has following drawbacks:

1. Keeping the TDS of product water close to 1000 is difficult.
2. The entire system takes very short time to finish the treatment process.

The following issues are associated with more modern waste-water treatment plant technologies.

1. It is a costly item.
2. It necessitates the availability of a high-speed internet connection.

A significant amount of energy is consumed. Today’s major concerns were faced by wastewater treatment plants is energy consumption.

Risks Involved:

To make the Smart waste water treatment plant, there are some risks of the required resources to be available in the market. To keep the TDS of product water, close to 1000 is difficult. The entire system takes very short time to finish the treatment process.
