Implementation of IoT-based Drain Water Monitoring at IIT Delhi campus
As part of the OPRUSS project, PT Ecological Services Pvt. Ltd. (PTESPL) successfully implemented advanced IoT-based instruments for monitoring effluent quality at the prestigious IIT Delhi campus. This case study highlights the critical role of OPM Series Analyzers in analysing water matrices before and after the phytoremediation treatment method.
Project Overview:
The study aimed to evaluate the performance of IoT-based instrumentation, specifically the OPM series 300 Analyzers, in effluent monitoring. The deployment was made to support IIT Delhi’s research project “Water Security and Sustainable Development,” which focuses on ensuring sustainable water practices on the campus. PTESPL installed a real-time effluent monitoring system, consisting of the following key components:
- OPM Series 300 Analyser with Controller
- OPM pH Sensor
- OPM 300 Accessories
- Remote Diagnostics Unit
Integration of IoT-Based Monitoring System:
After the installation of the Online Continuous Effluent Monitoring System (OCEMS), a demonstration of the system’s capabilities was conducted by IIT Delhi. Real-time data from the system, displayed on the Ecolyser software dashboard, was compared with laboratory-tested grabbed samples. The analysis revealed that the OCEMS readings aligned closely with the laboratory results, validating the system’s accuracy.
This success demonstrated the reliability of OPRUSS’s IoT-based monitoring technology in diverse water treatment scenarios, such as those involving phytoremediation. The seamless operation of the system offers a solution for effortlessly analyzing critical water quality parameters across different matrices.
Impact of OPRUSS Monitoring Technology:
The real-time monitoring system installed under the OPRUSS project not only validated its precision but also highlighted the potential for widespread application in water security initiatives. By providing instant data and remote diagnostics, OPRUSS monitoring technology simplifies the otherwise complex process of continuous effluent monitoring, making it an essential tool for institutions like IIT Delhi.
CONCLUSION
The OPRUSS project’s implementation of the OPM series analyzers at IIT Delhi underscores the effectiveness of IoT-based instruments in monitoring water quality and effluent treatment processes. It also marks a crucial step toward adopting smart, real-time monitoring systems to promote water security and sustainable development.
By integrating cutting-edge monitoring solutions, OPRUSS continues to support institutions and industries in optimizing their water treatment practices, offering them an effortless and reliable method for managing effluent quality.
