Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to nuttyfi wifi-enabled online condition monitoring system for static plate mixer in water treatment.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
With the use of a comprehensive online condition monitoring system, this innovation makes it possible to monitor and control static plate mixers in water treatment facilities in real time. By carefully positioning a network of sensors on the mixer, it continuously collects information about temperature variations, vibrations, seismic activity, and other phenomena. By means of ongoing data gathering and examination related to temperature, vibration, and seismic activity, the system offers prompt insights into the condition of the mixers. This gives operators the ability to spot irregularities and any problems before they become serious.
The invention addresses the problem of reliable and effective static plate mixer monitoring in water treatment plants. The absence of real-time data collection capabilities in conventional monitoring methods for this kind of equipment often leads to inefficiencies, unplanned downtime, and costly maintenance issues.
ATE442896T1: A mixing element is constructed for installation in a fluid-conducting conduit having an inlet opening of a first cross-section and an outlet opening of a larger second cross-section which is arranged in a plane disposed substantially normal to the main direction of flow. The mixing element has a cross-sectional design which increases substantially continuously from the first cross-section to the second cross-section. Flow-dividing layers are arranged in the mixing element such that a precise fitting of the mixing element into the substantially continuously expanding fluid-conducting means is made possible.

US9010994B2: A flow mixer and conditioner for use within a conduit conditions flowing media within the conduit to provide a swirl-free, symmetric, and reproducible velocity profile regardless of upstream flow distortions, disturbances, or anomalies. Tabs are cut from a single plate and bent or affixed to provide mixing and conditioning of the flowing media. Single tabs or tab pairs emanating from common vertices can be formed so that they diverge in, or against, the direction of flowing media. The flow conditioner requires as little as three pipe diameters downstream and upstream to mix and condition the flow stream allowing close placement to elbows, valves, tees, and other disturbances typically seen in industrial plants.

The static plate mixer's state is continuously monitored by this system, which gives operators the ability to anticipate problems, carry out necessary maintenance, and maximize the mixer's performance for effective water treatment operations. It consists of a number of carefully positioned sensors on the static plate mixer, such as a Seismic Sensor to recognize seismic activity or disturbances, a MEMS Vibration Sensor to detect anomalous vibrations, and a Waterproof Temperature Sensor to monitor temperature fluctuations. These sensors collect data on the surroundings and operation of the mixer continuously. The NuttyFi WiFi Board and GSM Modem are used to wirelessly transfer the gathered data to a Tailored Cloud server that is specifically designated for this innovation. The GSM Modem guarantees access even in places with spotty WiFi coverage, while the NuttyFi WiFi Board makes local WiFi connectivity easier. This allows for easy data transfer to the cloud server for safe processing and storing.
When the data reaches the cloud server, it is processed by pre-programmed machine learning algorithms designed specifically for the mixer's health monitoring. By analyzing incoming data, these algorithms identify patterns, trends, and anomalies that indicate the state of the mixer. This allows for an accurate real-time evaluation of the mixer's performance and health. In addition, a variety of interfaces are available for easy monitoring and control of the processed data. On-site operators get instant access to vital information, including trending statistics, real-time sensor readings, and alarms regarding the status of the mixer, thanks to a local HMI display.
BEST METHOD OF WORKING
Real-time data from the static plate mixer is collected and transmitted to the cloud server for extensive monitoring and management via the NWOMS_PMNode, which is outfitted with a NuttyFi WiFi Board, 8 channel Analog Multiplexer, GSM Modem, Waterproof Temperature Sensor, MEMS Vibration Sensor, Seismic Sensor, HMI Display, Indicator, and Power Supply.
The NuttyFi WiFi Board, which is integrated into the NWOMS PMNode, serves as both the primary processing unit and a wireless connectivity enabler. This allows data to be seamlessly transmitted from the NWOMS PMNode to the cloud server for real-time static plate mixer condition monitoring and analysis.
The 8-channel analog multiplexer, which is directly connected to the NWOMS_PMNode, is utilized to effectively collect data from several analog sensors mounted on the static plate mixer. This improves the system's capacity for thorough parameter analysis and monitoring that impacts the system's state.
The GSM modem built into the NWOMS PMNode is utilized to guarantee constant connectivity and data transfer from the cloud server to the NWOMS PMNode. This enables dependable remote control and monitoring of the static plate mixer, even in places with spotty or nonexistent WiFi service.
The NWOMS_PMNode is equipped with a waterproof temperature sensor, a MEMS vibration sensor, and a seismic sensor. These sensors work together to monitor vital parameters on the static plate mixer, including temperature variations, unusual vibrations, and seismic activity. This allows for proactive maintenance to guarantee optimal performance and dependability as well as early detection of potential problems.
In order to support timely decision-making and preventative maintenance, the HMI Display that is interfaced on NWOMS_PMNode gives on-site operators instant access to vital information, such as trending data, real-time sensor readings, and alerts regarding the static plate mixer's condition.
