Wireless Level Sensing

Sponsored by MPE

Group 1

Francis Luna, Bryn Blaise, Keegan Garcia, Chris Thompson

Project Goal:

The goal of our project was to design and fabricate a wireless, self-powered communication system to monitor the fluid level in a sewage wet well. The communications system will be designed wirelessly in order to maximize two inherent benefits. First, by eliminating the need to run power conduit and signal wires, the design will alleviate the need to seal any entry points created. Since the environment of the wet well is by definition hazardous, this will make installation not only easier, but safer as well. Second, the design will reduce the electromagnetic noise in the signal wires, a flaw intrinsic to previous designs that run signal and power wires in close proximity to one another.
