An automatic brine salinity control system, comprising:
- a salt brine solution inlet pipe having a fluid intake end and a fluid discharge end;
- said fluid intake end of said salt brine solution inlet pipe being configured to be fluidly connected to a salt brine production system;
- a first tee having a fluid intake end and a fluid discharge end;
- said fluid intake end of said first tee being fluidly connected to fluid discharge end of said salt brine solution inlet pipe;
- a second tee having a first fluid intake end, a second fluid intake end, and a fluid discharge end;
- said first fluid intake end of said second tee being fluidly connected to said fluid discharge end of said first tee;
- a fresh water intake pipe having a fluid intake end and a fluid discharge end;
- said fluid intake end of said fresh water intake pipe being configured to be fluidly connected to a source of fresh water;
- said fresh water intake pipe having a pressure gauge imposed therein;
- a water control valve, having a water intake end and a water discharge side, imposed in said fresh water inlet pipe;
- a third tee having a fluid intake end, a fluid discharge end and a pressure gauge end;
- said fluid intake end of said third tee being fluidly connected to said fluid discharge end of said fresh water inlet pipe;
- said fluid discharge end of said third tee being fluidly connected to said second fluid intake end of said second tee;
- a mass flow sensor including a body portion having a fluid intake end and a fluid discharge end;
- said fluid intake end of said body portion of said mass flow sensor being fluidly connected to said fluid discharge end of said third tee;
- said mass flow sensor including a U-shaped tube having a fluid intake end and a fluid discharge end;
- said fluid intake end of said U-shaped tube being fluidly connected to said body portion of said mass flow sensor at said fluid intake end of said body portion of said mass flow sensor;
- said first discharge end of said U-shaped tube being fluidly connected to said body portion of said mass flow sensor at said fluid discharge end of said body portion of said mass flow sensor;
- a transmitter associated with said U-shaped tube of said mass flow sensor at said fluid intake end thereof;
- a fourth tee having a first fluid intake end, a second fluid intake end, and a fluid discharge end;
- said first fluid intake end of said fourth tee being fluidly connected to said fluid discharge end of said body portion of said mass flow sensor;
- said second intake end of said fourth tee being configured to be fluidly connected to a source of flush water;
- a three-way valve having a fluid intake end, a first fluid discharge end, and a second fluid discharge end;
- said fluid discharge end of said fourth tee being fluidly connected to said fluid intake end of said three-way valve;
- said first fluid discharge end of said three-way valve being selectively secured to a brine storage tank;
- and
- said second fluid discharge end of said three-way valve being selectively fluidly secured to said brine production system or a waste water tank;
- and
- a control panel including a Programmable Logic Controller and a computer which is cable connected to said transmitter of said mass flow sensor, a water on-off valve, said control valve and said three-way valve for controlling the operation of said water on-off valve, said control valve and said three-way valve.
