Abstract

This project main objective is basically to improve the food processing that uses water as the power transmission medium.Cleanliness is one of the focus of this project which water as the working fluid plays major role in this.Studies,journals and data from past researchers were used as reference to determine the methods used in this project.The methods that has been used in this project refer to the reconstruction of automation controller and testing the working fluid to ensure the food processing unit is fit to operate in a hygienical environments.PLC has been used as a controller for the system and two programs or diagrams has been design for the automation of the system.The used of PLC is much more reliable in terms of cost and troubleshooting.The results showed that the water pH is still within the limits but increasing on average 1.14% per week over time. Next the TDS readings of ppm shows scale formation inside the system.The experiments are also focused monitoring the working to determine the presence of impurities such as rust and scale.The expectation for this project is that the presence of scale and rust will be inside of the system and some equipment will be affected.
