Title: Micro Controller based pH Control

Role: The main theme of the project was to control the pH in RO feed water. The pH expressed in terms negative logarithm of hydrogen ions. If the incoming water pH is less than 6.8 base should be added or greater than 6.8 acids should be added. The controller compares the measured value & set value and decided whether what should be added to the feed water. In the project the pH was maintained at 6.8 – 7, in this application they used the PIC micro controller.
