Irene Martina Jebarani. D, T. Rammohan . Fuzzy Logic based PID Controller for pH Neutralization Process. International Journal of Computer Applications. 95, 6 ( June 2014), 36-40. DOI=10.5120/16601-6423
The automation of a Water treatment plant involves monitoring and control of various parameters like Temperature, Pressure, Level, Flow and Vibration in the plant. Process Control plays a major role in the automation industry. The intricacy of any control mechanism has only increased due to an unprecedented increase in the requirements, instrumentation and various control loops. Therefore a simple PID control mechanism is not a practical option for efficient control of any real - time process, let alone automation of an entire plant. This paper presents an improved version of the classic PID control mechanism that is the use of Fuzzy control logic along with the PID control for the pH neutralization process in a water treatment plant. The implementation of this procedure will be relevant for any multivariable process.
