MEE 30002 Control Engineering: Pumping System and PID Control Report

This report presents an analysis of a control system designed for a water quality pumping system within an industrial process. The assignment focuses on various aspects of the system, including the selection of a capacitance transmitter for measuring water height, and a float valve for controlling fluid level. It explores the application of a PID controller for tuning the system to achieve the desired pH level in the holding tank, discussing tuning methods like the Trial and Error method. The report also highlights the advantages of using a PID controller to reduce overshoot and steady-state errors, and includes block diagrams and flowcharts to illustrate the system's operation. The report concludes by emphasizing the enhanced accuracy and stability achieved through the implementation of the PID controller, ensuring the correct chemical amount is added for pH adjustment.
