Abstract:- Nowadays, Water Scarcity is the main problem facing in paper making industry. It can be reduced by reusing and recycling. In this project ,the centrifugal cleaners have been used widely in the pulp and Paper Industry as a means of removing small contaminants. Initially they are used to remove only high dense particles but with the introduction of Reverse Cleaners low density particles can also be removed. Even though it had wide range real time application it is not fully implemented in automation. Manual labors are required to maintain the valves. Turbidity sensor is used to determine the suspended solid particles in water and identifies the purity level. Thus it helps to improve the efficiency and reduce the manual labours. Arduino is used to develop, design and test electronic prototypes and products as it is the open source electronic platform. Arduino makes the electronic circuits more accessible and helps in creating interactive objects and environments.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Along with the increasing use of water in the paper making industry , the quality of water needs to be considered , especially for both human and industrial consumption. Water quality is determined based on the value of turbidity present in the water. Turbidity is one of the parameters in determining water quality. It is caused by organic and inorganic particles that are suspended in the water. This project develops an arduino UNO based turbidity detecting system which is aimed to measure water turbidity levels. The turbidity sensor consists of photodiode and infrared LED. This sensor detects the intensity of light passing through the scattering of particles and the result of analog signals voltage. Arduino motherboard Arduino is an open source electronics platform accompanied with a hardware and software to design, develop and test complex electronics prototypes and products. The microcontroller with other electronic components is used as a hardware and the software is used to program the codes.The Arduino program is very simple and easy for the compilation of the electronic programs in embedded C language.. Relay is used as switch for opening and closing of the motors. The measurements results of the turbidity sensor is in the form of ADC values converted to units of NTU (Nephelotelemetric Turbidity Units) and is shown on LCD display(16*2)

  2. OBJECTIVE

    To detect the suspended particles in water and outlet the suspended water in the paper making process

    • If the suspended particles are pure, then the motor will function for the pure water to outlet it.

    • To reuse the detected pure water for the next step process in the pulp wet lap industry.

  3. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

    1. EXISTING SYSTEM

      In our existing system, the particles such as pulp, wood, stones and sands, plastics, small contaminants of papers, sugarcane residues are combined and mixed together. It is then injected to the tank. It will separate the floating particles and plastics. And the remaining particles is sent to the destoner. It is the initial step of the separating process. In the destoner, the stones and high density particles such as sand

      ,stones are separated by using centrifugal force. It is then sent to the primary stage. In the primary centrifugal cleaners, the high density particles are removed like, large stones,sand,metal particles .Then in secondary stage small stones are removed.At last in last stage terrtitory stage small minute particles are removed.In all this process lot of water is wasted for each process.

      1. DRAWBACKS

        1. Time is considered more for the three step processes.

        2. The cost requirement of this project will be more.

        3. Water will be wasted and cannot be reused for any other purposes because of the cloudliness present in the water.

    2. PROPOSED SYSTEM

      Our proposed system uses the turbidity sensor and its concepts for the water purity detecting purpose. The turbidity level is fixed as 300 NTU for high purity and 700 NTU(Nephelotelemetric Turbidity Unit) for low purity level. By using motor pump, the water will be supplied inside the primary process or it gets outlet. Here the two motors are used. If the level of turbidity is low, the first motor will gets activated and water is sent to the primary process. If the turbidity is high, then the water will be outlet.

5.12. TURBIDITY SENSOR

Turbidity sensors are used to detect the suspended particles and cloudliness present in the water. It consists of photo detector and LED light. The light scattered indicates the amount of turbidity in the water. Water turbidity level is increased by the increase in the total suspended solids present in the water. The measurement is done to check the quality of

      1. RELAY DRIVER

        Relay is used as electromechanical devices in the application of industries particularly in the automation sectors. It is used as an interfacing from electronic to electrical which is used to switch or operate the electrical circuits at high Ac voltages. It has two parts which is coil and the switch. The coil is operated at the rated Dc voltage and switch is mechanically movable. The circuits are made isolated but magnetically connected at each other. So the fault do not occurs. If any of the side is faulty, it doesnt affect the either side of the circuit.

      2. MOTOR PUMP

        A pump is a mechanical device that moves liquids or gases.

        1. By using turbidity sensor ,water can be reused.

        2. Lot of time can be saved by using turbidity sensor.

        3. Reduce of water wastage.
