pH Sensor Validation and Industrial Trials

The document describes measurements taken using a pH sensor in an industrial environment. It conducted trials in a large tannery with 30 barrels producing 5000-6000 pieces of leather per day. Using a sensor node, it recorded temperature measurements from the barrels over 108 hours with packets sent every 2 minutes and 13% packet loss. The results showed temperature recordings over 42 hours, including graphs of the end of the liming process, 20 hours of cooling, and the ice process to lower temperature further. The outputs were verified by plant operators.

Technical Difficulty:

During the validation phase (Validation of the pH sensor), I faced technical difficulty on
measurements. To overcome this issue, I have referred my engineering textbooks as well as
related subjects to gain knowledge. Also, I have spent time on library and come up with a new
idea. Then, I surveyed the measurements and compared it to both commercial pH sensor (YSI
EcoSense PH100) and developed pH sensor (with an InLab 413 glass electrode of Mettler
Toledo). For better understanding, I used the below figure where the measurements along
with its internals of both sensors.

Measurements in an industrial environment

I conducted many trials in the large industrial plant. It had 30 tannery barrels which were
distributed over 15000 m2, they can produce over 5000-6000 pieces of leather per day. I
used sensor node to test the base station connected to a PC at a 30 meters distance. The
longest experimented I observed was of 108 hours, it notes the temperature measurements
with an equal interval of 2 minutes with a packet loss rate of 13%.
From the results, I ensured that the temperature measurements recorded over 42
hours. The first graph I used records the end of the liming process. Then I made the barrel to
cool down at ambient temperature for 20 hours approximately. The last graph I recorded
shows the ice process to lower the temperature. The outputs were calculated by the expert
operators.

Finally, I completed the project with successful results. I learned to handle the project at
various conditions. I implemented my knowledge and exhibited my theoretical knowledge
into practical. I resolved technical difficulties and helped to my team members. I always
coordinated with my teammates and worked hard.

Summary
CE 1.16

The project was successfully completed. During this project, I groomed my soft skills,
increased technical knowledge and managed time properly. I utilized my engineering
knowledge in this project. Also, I solved issues. I was appreciated by project guide and team
members. I started to work on future projects and learned to handle the challenges using
innovative skills.
