The GUNT pH Value Control Trainer offers a practical, real-world training experience in chemical process control using advanced industrial components. The system uses water as a carrier medium flowing through a pipe section and integrates two smart pH sensors—one upstream and one downstream—to monitor and control the pH value. An acid dosing pump serves as the actuator, while disturbance variables can be introduced via a metering pump for alkaline solution and a solenoid valve for flow variation. Thorough mixing is ensured with static mixers. The setup allows complete neutralisation before collecting the treated solution in a product tank. Smart sensors connected via Modbus enable calibration and parameter transmission directly through the PLC. The trainer includes integrated PLC control with a touchscreen and offers remote operation and analysis via GUNT software over LAN/WLAN.
