WATER AND OIL AUTOMATIC SEPARATION SYSTEM USING FUZZY CONTROL

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a water and oil separation system as a contribution to reduce the problem of contamination of water in domestic and industrial sewage. The project consists of improvements in level detection in an automatic separation tower and in the use of the Fuzzy control. The main objective is to design a controller based on the values of the levels and increase the reliability in the process of separation of the fluids. The validation of the controller is obtained through simulation in MATLAB engineering software and the improvements applied are corroborated according to the results observed in the separation process. Satisfactory results show increased reliability in the fluid separation process, leaving the minimum fluid within the reservoir.
