Scenario: A wastewater treatment plant uses an Alka-Pro system to maintain the pH of its activated sludge process at a setpoint of 7.2. The pH sensor detects a drop in pH to 6.8.
Task: Describe the steps the Alka-Pro system would take to bring the pH back to the setpoint, explaining the role of each component.
1. **pH Sensor:** The pH sensor detects the drop in pH to 6.8 and sends this data to the control unit.
2. **Control Unit:** The control unit analyzes the pH data and calculates the amount of chemical needed to adjust the pH back to 7.2. It determines the optimal dosage based on the pH difference and the system's flow rate.
3. **Chemical Feed System:** The control unit sends a signal to the chemical feed system, which pumps the calculated amount of chemical, likely sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), into the treatment system. The chemical feed system ensures precise delivery of the required dosage to avoid overfeeding or underfeeding.
4. **pH Adjustment:** As the chemicals mix with the wastewater, the pH gradually rises. The pH sensor continuously monitors the pH levels and feeds back data to the control unit.
5. **Stabilization:** The control unit continues to adjust the chemical feed rate based on the sensor readings until the pH reaches the setpoint of 7.2. The system then maintains this pH level by adjusting the chemical feed as needed to compensate for any fluctuations.
