Calibration of pH and oxygen sensors applied to aquaponic system

Majority of agricultural activity in Indonesia still relies on rainwater for irrigation. In the dry season, there are many non-productive agricultural lands. It leads to decrease in farmers’ income. To solve this problem, Aquaponic Planting System was offered, but the system is complicated. It needs adequate oxygen and proper pH to make nitrification bacteria alive to convert NH3 to NO3- and NO2. Therefore, a system which controls oxygen and pH is needed. For pH calibration, a curve fitting method was used to get an accurate measurement. For oxygen calibration, saturated dissolved oxygen water was used. It was obtained using a Potentiometric method. Moreover, Simple Moving Average was used to get a stable reading.
