The Gas Leak Detection Based on a Wireless Monitoring System

using IOT
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The industrial gas leaks cause accidents and pose threats to the environment and human
life. Hence it is essential to detect the gas leaks in time. Usually, the abnormal concentration
signals are defined by a fixed concentration value, such as 25% of the lower explosive limit
(LEL). However, it is difficult to accumulate to the fixed point quickly when the leak is small. In
addition, the actual leak signals are seldom available, making many data classification
inoperable. To solve this problem, we design the gas leak detection based on Wireless
Monitoring System.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

The proposed system consists of a gas sensor to detect the leakage of inflammable and
toxic gases. If the gases are inflammable, temperature sensor will detect the temperature if above
a certain value and a light sensor (LDR) will detect the flame light. If any of these parameters are
beyond the certain value, the exhaust fan connected through a relay will be triggered to turn on.
The data will be constantly updated over a Zigbee Module to another node where the data will be
further sent through IoT Module to an IoT Application.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:

1. RPS
2. Microcontroller (Arduino/ NodeMCU)
3. Gas Sensor MQ-2
4. Temperature Sensor LM35
5. Light Sensor (Light Dependent Resistor)
6. Relay connected to the Exhaust Fan (Load).
7. Zigbee Module
8. LCD
9. Buzzer
 10. Wi-Fi Module

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

1. Arduino IDE
2. Embedded C

ADVANTAGES:

1. We can get information on gas leakage from anywhere.

2. The exhaust fan connected to the microcontroller may help in mitigating the flames to a
certain extent.

DISADVANTAGES:

1. If the flames are too big, this system may not work.
2. This system can only be used as a precaution but cannot replace the task of firefighters.
