Abstract

The synthesis of nitroglycerin requires extremely precise control of reactant volumes due to its highly sensitive and hazardous nature. This study evaluates the performance of a capacitive level sensor integrated with a Fuzzy-PID controller capable of adapting to error dynamics while utilizing an ESP32 microcontroller and a peristaltic pump. The sensor was tested for accuracy, precision, linearity, resolution, response time, hysteresis, stability, and sensitivity. The results demonstrated an accuracy of 99.4%, an R² value of 0.997, a resolution of 0.1 mL, and a response time of 4.98 seconds. The system exhibited high precision and stable performance, offering a potential solution for enhancing the reliability and safety of nitroglycerin production.
