ONLINE TURBIDITY METER

Hi Friends,

Today I am going to share some information about ONLINE TURBIDITY Meter integrated by me. 

Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality

Turbidity meter measures the quality of solution measured in NTU which stands for  Nephelometric Turbidity Unit. A clean solution will have 0 NTU whereas a contaminated solution will have greater than Zero value proportional to amount of contamination.

A block diagram of Online turbidity meter is as below:


As seen from the diagram, PIC Micro-controller measures the turbidity sensor value using the inbuilt A/D converter and displays the same on the OLED in NTU units. The same value is transmitted to Google spreadsheet using ESP-8266 01 wifi module which makes the project a variant of IOT application.

The demo of the project is as given in the below video. 



This is basically a proof of  concept. The same can be developed into full fledged device for a cost of as low as Rs.4,000/-. Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for a similar device so that I can arrange one for you.
