Abstract
Dewatering is a process which is related to water removing from the excavation worksite during mining. In this research, a prototype model of shaft mine has been fabricated and the system is simulated using ultra sonic sensors and ARDUINOUNO microprocessor and a control monitor has been built by LABVIEW software to drive the system. Horizontal slice Method has been applied in calculations of water level. An extensive tests are carried out by measuring the water level inside the mine shaft and is compared to predicted data from the system. The recorded error is 0.22 % of the whole tank capacity at full load condition. A desired water level is calculated based on the desired time and this one is compared to the speed of sound with an interesting result of average error 0.00036s in time. This mechanism is absolutely passed with no modification and it has a flexibility to apply in various industrial aspects efficiently with low cost.
