An automatic pesticide mixing and water level control of irrigation system powered by solar, using PLC and nrf24l01 module is focussed. The proposed system consist of pesticide mixer which automatically mixes the pesticide and water in particular ratio and the mixer is automatically sprayed to the field on the programmed date with the help of PLC. This system will also be useful in monitoring the soil moisture condition and level of the water in the field via moisture sensors and ultrasonic sensor which is connected in the transmitter side of the RF module. The system proposes a soil moisture sensor and ultrasonic sensor at each place in the field where the moisture content of the soil and water level in the field has to be monitored which is powered by solar. When moisture content in the soil is low or water level in the field is below certain level, the transmitter RF sends a signal to the receiver RF and accordingly the motor is turned ON/OFF with the help of PLC.
The objective of the prototype is to eliminate the polluting contamination of water sources, due to the leak of industrial waste without any kind of treatment, mainly generated by the industries and home sector. In this project, a prototype of water purification by plasma technology has been designed. The prototype will convert contaminated water into the plasma stream and eliminate the pathogens from the water by exposing it to ultraviolet radiation and plasma sterilisation. The polluted water will be accelerated at high speed using a water pump in order to convert it into a liquid-gas mixture for ease plasma generation. This process will be achieved when the electric supply from a source of alternating current (AC) is applied to the water by means of high voltage electrodes. After which, the mixture slows down to return into liquid form and the clean water is obtained. The whole process takes place without significantly raising the temperature also knows as non-thermal plasma. The device also has an automatic flow and pressure control system. Finally, a short feasibility study has been conducted on the water samples collected and report obtained from Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewage boards are reported. It has been concluded that this new plasma-based water treatment system will be more efficient and cheaper than the current wastewater treatment techniques and can be used in the future as the replacement of current secondary and tertiary treatments of industrial wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
