Abstract
This research aims to develop a control scheme for automatic control of dosing pump for a laboratory based water treatment plant. The chemical dosing pump delivers the alum with different flow rates depending on the dosage requirement for the laboratory based water treatment plant. The alum flow rate is controlled by an intelligent controller, which includes a neural network and a pulse width modulator. The intelligent controller is a steady state feed forward controller. The result shows that the steady state feed forward controller will be able to control the flow rate accurately.
