Failure modes and effects analysis for an automatic level control system

An Automatic Level Control System is an important process that needs to be properly designed and monitored in order to determine and eliminate the critical failures that could result in the loss of the system. Water resource availability is an important problem and in a water distribution process the level and flow must be always known and monitored to keep the system running at full capacity and with minimal disruptions. If the systems are properly designed and the critical failures eliminated the process availability increases considerably. This paper presents a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis for an automatic level control system. This analysis gives an overview on the critical components of the system.
