PROTÓTIPO DE GERENCIAMENTO DO NÍVEL E TRATAMENTO DE ÁGUA VIA RÁDIO FREQUÊNCIA

Abstract

This work presents a prototype for control and automation of a water treatment and distribution station using the Radiuino platform. As a general objective, the work aims to present an efficient solution for controlling the level and treatment of water in the reservoirs of a water supply and sanitation company. The main characteristics of the prototype presented are a control to meet municipalities whose topography requires the use of pumps for water lift stations, thus monitoring the flow to non-intrusive macro mediation, as well as the monitoring of water quality parameters, through the measurement of hydrostatic turbidity sensors, chlorine, fluorine and iron dosing. In the proposed prototype we have two main components: the control and automation platform (activation of the pumps of the reservoir, reading of the measurements of the sensors that monitor the quality and the level of the water) and a software of monitoring. The Radiuino platform was used as a control and automation tool. This tool was used because it facilitates the understanding of the system and allows to configure it according to the requirements and control parameters. In addition, the Radiuino platform enables communication with a wireless sensor network, allowing communication with the automated points via radio frequency, using the frequency of 915 MHz (Within the range released by Anatel for industrial, scientific and medical applications - Range of Frequency ISM). Monitoring software has been developed to centralize and display measurement data through a single interface to allow user interaction and to enable other system interface media to be developed such as page usage or applications.
