Wastewater Monitoring and Control Using Cloud Based IoT System

Wastewater treatment is considered the most important process for reducing pollutants in wastewater to levels that nature can cope with. Among the various challenges faced by sewage treatment plant managers, industrial waste poses the most significant difficulty in the treatment process. At many sewages treatment plants, industrial wastes cause more difficulties in the treatment process than any other single problem where the plant operators have to deal with. This project introduces an innovative industrial IoT model hosted in the cloud for wastewater monitoring and control. Our proposed system continuously monitors the incoming wastewater that will be processed in the sewage treatment facility for important parameters like pH, turbidity, and temperature. To achieve this, our system employs real-time sensors that transmit data to the cloud. Furthermore, it offers a notification mechanism through email alerts and alarms whenever unexpected industrial wastewater is detected. Additionally, the system can control gate valves, allowing for the redirection of water to an industrial wastewater treatment facility capable of handling this specific type of waste. This adaptive approach is crucial for effective wastewater management.
