Description
Summary:Real-time monitoring system of effluent discharge of Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) has received attention and interest in the context of providing an accurate and continuous waste water quality information by following the minimum criteria of water quality as applied in the Department of Environmental (DOE) and Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) practice. The system not only can be monitored, but also can store the continuous measurement of data for long periods of time and assessible remotely without skilled staff being required to perform the analysis since the STP is normally located at hazardous and isolated location. This paper presents a water quality monitoring system using a microcontroller module technology which is powered by a solar panel. Data collected by various sensors at base station is sent via wireless channel (NRF2401) to the remote site and will be displayed at Graphical User Interface (GUI) using Visual Studio. The real-time data is saved in .txt file for further analysis. If the obtained value is above the threshold value, automated warning SMS will be sent to alert the responsible personnel.
