In an automated Water treatment plant, we monitor and control things like Temperature, Pressure, Level, Flow and Vibration. The automation industry relies heavily on Process Control. The level of detail needed in each control mechanism has risen due to unexpectedly higher requirements, instruments and control loops. Thus a simple PID control is impossible to apply in practice to any real-time process and would not automatically work for the entire plant. An improved method of PID control for pH neutralization in a water treatment plant is suggested in this paper by incorporating Fuzzy logic. Any time a process involves many variables, this procedure can be applied.
