SIMPLE WATER LEVEL GAUGING AND WATER SUPPLY PUMP AUTOMATION SYSTEM
The use of sensors still remains the main component of future technologies. However, there are instances sensor may malfunction or there may be other limitations found within the instrumentation job that simple manual automation technology could solve. Taking a case study of an industrial water tank operation unit. It is a place in the industry where water is kept for the purpose of consumption whenever the need be. The issue of automation can be vital if the industry consumes a significant volume of water per day and does not want to have any shortage of water in its storage tank. Due to the consumption method of most industries, water in the storage tank may be dropping unnoticeably except the meters in the control rooms are sensible enough to detect it. However, in some instances, only a clearly visible manual indicator can easily reveal the water drop in the storage tank before it could become clearly visible through the meters in the control room. Nevertheless, there are cases, meters in the control room could fail. The possible cause of such incident could be as a result of poor instrumentation job, use of malfunctioning or defective instrumentation devices, among other issues. The simplest way one can ensure accuracy is to ensure that both manual and automatic reading system are in operation. However, using the simple does not make it a manual system since it still has the ability to actuate a pump originally at its idle state for water supply. Read the full article
