Abstract

This project proposes Wastewater Treatment Monitor, a hardware initiative aimed at Chemical Engineering learners. It combines Sensors, ESP32, Cloud to deliver a functional prototype while reinforcing fundamentals. Budget and duration are estimates; actual costs vary by location and component choices.

Problem statement

Students in Chemical Engineering often lack hands-on project ideas that connect theory with practice. Wastewater Treatment Monitor addresses a real-world need by applying Sensors, ESP32, Cloud to solve a domain-specific problem.

Objectives

  • Understand the core concepts behind Wastewater Treatment Monitor.
  • Design and implement a working prototype using Sensors, ESP32, Cloud.
  • Evaluate performance and usability of the solution.
  • Document findings and suggest improvements.

Key features

  • Core functionality for Wastewater Treatment Monitor
  • User-friendly interface or control mechanism
  • Data logging or reporting where applicable
  • Modular and extensible design

Implementation roadmap

  1. Research and requirement analysis
  2. System design and architecture
  3. Implementation of core modules
  4. Integration and testing
  5. Documentation and final report

Required hardware & software
