VISION:-
To inculcate competence and productive professionalism in
instrumentation technocrats to face the current and future challenger of
technological development.

MISSION:-
1) Technical Skills - To promote innovative and original thinking
in the minds of budding engineers to face the challenges of future.
2) Overall Development - To inculcate value-based, socially
committed professionalism amongst the students.
3) Research - To facilitate research opportunities to faculty as well
as students in multidisciplinary field.
Introduction:-
Automatic boiler control:-
The main aim of our project is to automate the manually operated steam boiler. The steam
boiler is one of the most utility factor for all industrial plants. In Titan steam boiler, which is
running at the pressure of 1Kg/cm2 which is used in plant . this boiler is operated manually
using the control panel. While controlling the boiler manually various factors needs to be
considered which are very sensitive to be operated and often leads to serious problems.
To avoid this, we propose an automated boiler that is operated and controlled using PLC
(Programmable Logic Controller). By automating the boiler operation, we could minimize the
human intervention and errors made by them during operation. Frequent examination of
controls by the workers is greatly reduced. This satisfies the high quality and greater efficiency
of steam boiler which is essential part of plant functioning.

Need Of Boiler Automation
Need For Boiler Automation Boiler is one of the most important parts in any
power plant. Boiler needs complete monitoring and inspection at frequent time interval.
In power plant there are number of boiling sections are there which produce the high
temperature water of steam. The temperature of steam in boiler is hard to control due to
poorly understand the working principles. Boilers have many serious injuries and
destruction of property. It is critical for the safe operation of the boiler and the steam
turbine. Too low a level may overheat boiler tubes and damage them.
Too high a level may interfere with separating moisture from steam and transfers
moisture into the turbine, which reduces the boiler efficiency. Various controlling
mechanism are used to control the boiler system so that it works properly, many control
strategies have been applied to it. In order to automate a power plant and minimize
human intervention, there is a need to develop a Boiler Automation system. It is
achieved by using Programmable Logic Controller & Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition system that helps to reduce the errors caused by humans and avoids the
catastrophic failure
