MAINTENANCE SELF-DIAGNOSIS AND GUIDE FOR A SELF-CONTAINED WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A self-diagnostic maintenance system for wastewater treatment employs unique environmental sensor configurations to link operational states of a water treatment system with unique failure modes of the system. Upon detection of failure modes, the maintenance system alerts users and operators via a short messaging service (SMS) of the problem, and can display step-by-step pictorial repair instructions for the operator to replace broken or malfunctioning parts, without the operator needing to diagnosis the problem or understand the detailed workings of the wastewater treatment system.

主权项

1. A self-diagnostic maintenance system for a self-contained wastewater treatment system, comprising:
a data logger configured to gather data from a plurality of sensors mounted on the self-contained wastewater treatment system; a controller, operatively coupled to the data logger, configured to compare the data to a plurality of threshold values to determine whether a failure mode of the self-contained wastewater treatment system exists; and a communication interface, operatively coupled to the controller, configured to send a message through a communication network to alert a maintenance operator of the failure mode.
