Abstract

This project involves the filling automation and dosing control of a sulfuric acid storage tank with a capacity of 20000 liters. The filling control to carry out the reaction of sulfuric acid with bauxite more precisely avoiding risks and accidents to workers is proposed. To achieve this, a system that uses a flow sensor, a transmitter, and a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) which performs the control actions on the solenoid valves and the centrifugal pump has been designed and implemented. Also, an HMI (Human Machine Interface) that allows the operator to manipulate and interact with the system to perform storage and dosing operations automatically or manually is performed. As a result of this work, a system in which the operator can store and dose sulfuric acid automatically or manually from the operating panel safely is achieved.
