Abstract:

Collecting information on wastewater treatment processes is critical to the efficiency of the treatment system. Detecting the water level inside of a macrophyte constructed wetlands, using a capacitive sensing element, allows knowing the operating state and efficiency of this infrastructure. The energy independence of the smart sensor is achieved through a microbial fuel cell that, by using the wastewater's organic matter, allows it to operate indefinitely, avoiding a battery element and the associated replacement tasks. At the same time, integration of the smart sensor into a transducer network, observing the IEEE1451 standard, contributes to improve interoperability promoting cooperation among wastewater treatment subsystems.
