 INTRODUCTION

A.BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In the Philippines, there have been numerous fires. One of the causes of the fire was

gas leaks. According to news, from January to June last 2017, the BFP recorded a

total of 2,522 fire incidents. It was traced that LPG is one of the major causes of fire

during that year where half of the total which is 1,253 besides from electrical causes.

Gas leaks in homes can result in fire, and inhaling the gas can result in natural gas

poisoning. Small gas leaks may not have an odor or any other visible signs because

gas is much lighter than air and it rises quickly and dissipates into the atmosphere

when released into it. It is critical to be able to recognize gas leak symptoms as well

as what to do in the event of a gas leak. The researchers find ways to do something

that will alert anyone nearby that there is a gas leak so that people will be aware, be

able to evacuate, and call for help to prevent potential fires and injuries. A tool to be

aware of these situations would reduce the risk of tragedy and danger to everyone.

To reduce the number of cases, the researchers developed a GAL SMART

Detection System using the Arduino Uno Microcontroller Chip, MQ6 Gas Sensor,

and GSM Module SIM900A. The researchers developed an alarm system that will

sound and send an SMS alert if there is a gas leak that could start a fire. The alarm

will sound; alerting and warning the people in the area of the gas leak, and will

automatically send an SMS to the owner. A better idea for this harmful gas leakage

detection is to utilize the GSM module for SMS alerts to mitigate the destruction of

properties. The most important thing is to prevent the dangerous event of a gas leak

that will affect people in the area.

B.STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study primarily aimed to investigate the answers to satisfy the following:

a). How many Parts Per Million (PPM) should this device tolerate before it sends
warning signals?

b). What is the maximum range of detection (in centimeters) of this gas leak detector
that provides at least 80% accuracy?

c). How much time does it take for this gas leak detector to send an SMS after
sensing a gas leakage?

C. HYPOTHESIS.

The following are the most likely outcomes that the researchers anticipated:

1.) Ho- This gas leak detector cannot detect gas leakage from far areas of the
vicinity.

Ha- This gas leak detector can detect gas leakage from far areas of the vicinity.

2.) Ho- This gas leak detector can send warning signals to only one person.

Ha- This gas leak detector can send warning signals to more than one person.

3.) Ho- This gas leak detector cannot avoid sending unwanted signals or false

alarms.

4
 Ha- This gas leak detector can avoid sending unwanted signals or false alarms.

D.SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The findings of this study will have an impact on society because gas leakage is a

serious issue in which an innocent person can be injured. High demand for an item

or skill to prevent gas leaks justifies the need for more effective prevention. A device

that would draw the attention of people around it by sounding an alarm and sending

a Short Message Service (SMS) when gas is leaking. A device that will prevent

potential harm will benefit the following:

The Adults - The device can help them give more assurance and safety to their

houses. The possibility of a gas leak may cause a fire, so it is advisable to have a

gas leak detector to prevent further damages.

The Neighborhood - The neighborhood will hear the alarm coming from the house,

and they will be aware that there is a gas leak inside your house while you are away.

The Researchers - The current researchers have acquired better knowledge and

understanding in terms of using gas leak detection and its benefits for our homes

and society.

5
The Future Researchers - In this research, future researchers will be guided to

research how gas leak detectors will help to prevent fire hazards or poisoning from

gas production. This will serve as a guide to further developing the research with the

connection to the variables used.

E.SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

This research focuses on developing an Automatic Gas Leakage Sensing Detector

using the Arduino Uno Microcontroller Chip, Gas Sensor MQ6, and GSM Module

SIM900A. The evaluation of the product will be conducted on a single produced

prototype, but a final product will be developed and also tested. The study will focus

on developing an alarm system that will produce sounds if there is a gas leak.

This research is not intended to prevent any sources that could initiate a fire disaster,

such as an already lit fire or any fire hazards other than gas leaks. Although gas

leaks are the focus of the study, only a select few will be included in the evaluation of

the product due to their irrelevance and inaccessibility.

F. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Fig 1. Concept Map

G.RELATED LITERATURE

LPG stands for “Liquefied Petroleum Gas” and the term is used to describe two

Natural Gas Liquids: propane and butane, or a mix of the two. The term “liquefied

gas” may seem a contradiction in terms since all things in nature are either a liquid or

a solid or a gas. Yet, liquidity is the unique character of LPG that makes it such a

popular and widely used fuel. At normal temperature and pressure, LPG is gaseous.

It changes to a liquid when subjected to modest pressure or cooling. In liquid form,

the tank pressure is about twice the pressure in a normal truck tire, which means it is

very safe when properly handled (The Story of LPG, 2020).

7
LPG is used in homes by several billion people throughout the world for a variety of

purposes. LPG is often used for cooking and heating, but it may also be used to

produce electricity, clean and dry clothing, cut the grass, and wash cars. Moreover,

(Where Is LPG Used?, 2020) LPG provides all the benefits of mains gas, without the

connection to the grid. LPG provides warm, cozy heating, hot water as well as the

added benefit of instant, completely controllable gas cooking. The study For The

Food We Eat and the Air We Breathe (n.d.) added, LPG is a highly efficient cooking

fuel. It is economical and its excellent heating capacity helps you cook your food in

less time, saving you a lot on fuel cost. It undergoes complete combustion, produces

no residue and particulate matter, which means minimum maintenance cost and

lesser carbon footprint. And that’s just some of its benefits that you can count on

your fingers.

While LPG has many uses and essential in every home, industry etc. there are sill

throwbacks about it, the dangers. Liquified petroleum gas is a highly flammable gas

and is dangerous if not used safely. Because it is easily ignited, you need to know

how to stay safe when using and storing it. LPG may leak as a gas or a liquid. If the

liquid leaks it will quickly evaporate and form a relatively large cloud of gas which will

drop to the ground, as it is heavier than air. LPG vapors can run for long distances

along the ground and can collect in drains or basements. When the gas meets a

source of ignition it can burn or explode. LPG can cause cold burns to the skin, and it

can act as an asphyxiant at high concentrations (Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), n.d.).

Gas leakage leads to various accidents resulting in both material loss and human

injuries. The risk of explosion, firing, suffocation is based on their physical properties

8
such toxicity, flammability, etc. The number of deaths due to explosion of gas

cylinders has been increasing in recent years. The reason for such explosion is due

to substandard cylinders, old valves, worn out regulators and lack of awareness in

handling gas cylinders. Being heavier than air, these gases do not disperse easily. It

may lead to suffocation when inhaled and may lead to explosion (Jebamalar

Leavline et al., 2017).

To avoid this problem there is a need for a system to detect the leakage of LPG. Gas

leak detection is the process of identifying potentially hazardous gas leaks by means

of various sensors. Usually, detection is possible by human being in two ways either

by hearing the sound of leakage or by smelling the gas. But unfortunately, none of

the approaches are suitable and can be extremely dangerous and life threatening

(Design and Implementation of a Dual Mode Autonomous Gas Leakage Detecting

Robot, 2019). 

While operating with LPG, risks are considered, and a reliable technique is to be

adapted in the kitchen. Many techniques are available to provide constant monitoring

and control of gas leakage in residencies. Vishnu Priya & Kowsalya (2021) describes

one such method of utilizing LPG in home safely and automatic turning off of the

valves at the time of leakage. In this paper, they have used Arduino UNO to carry out

the desired task. Arduino is connected to gas sensor (MQ-2) and temperature sensor

(LM-35). Gas sensor is used to detect leakage of gas and temperature sensor is

used to detect temperature constantly.

9
The main purpose of a gas sensor is to gauge the amount of gases present in the

surrounding area. Various varieties exist based on what you wish to measure. The

sensor has a built-in variable resistor that changes its value according to the

concentration of gas. If the concentration is high, the resistance decreases. If the

concentration is low, the resistance increases. Besides the built-in resistor, it is

necessary to include a load resistor. This resistor serves to adjust the sensor’s

sensitivity and accuracy. The value depends on whether you want to measure high

concentrations of gas or not. If you choose to measure high concentrations of gas,

but choose a high value for the load resistor, then the readings won't be very

accurate. Lastly, there is another built-in resistor used for the heater of the sensor.

The heater is used to provide the temperature that the sensor needs to work properly

(Systems, 2022).

Many more sensors for LPG detection are available in the market and are more

advanced but today we are going to use which is very easily available to all in the

electronics market. The MQ6 gas sensor detects concentration of gas in ppm and

outputs analog value which can be converted to digital measure using in-built Analog

to Digital Convertor of Arduino. The value of the digital measure will be 10-bit long

and varies from 0 to 1023. The project allows user to set the dangerous level for

leakage based on the same digital measure. When the value set by the user

matches with that of the value detected by the sensor, it invokes the alarm. The MQ6

sensor can be calibrated by interfacing a load resistance of fixed value with the

sensor (Kumar, 2021).

10
Paculanan & Carino (2019) presented that the purpose of this project is to detect the

presence of LPG leakage as a part of a safety system. Apart from sound alarm, an

SMS alert will inform the authorized person and the solenoid valve will be triggered

to shut down the gas supply to prevent any harmful effects due to gas leakage.

Descriptively, we use a gas sensor to monitor the LPG if the gas leak reaches

beyond the normal level. This proposed project will trigger the sound alarm. In

addition, the authorized person will be informed about the leakage via SMS alert,

using GSM SIM900A Module, and the gas supply will be automatically shut down.

The people can be saved from a potential explosion caused by gas leakage.

Sim 900A GSM Module is a mobile communication modem; it is stands for global

system for mobile communication (GSM). The idea of GSM was developed at Bell

Laboratories in 1970. It is widely used mobile communication system in the world.

GSM is an open and digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice

and data services operates at the 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900MHz

frequency bands. GSM system was developed as a digital system using time division

multiple access (TDMA) technique for communication purpose. A GSM digitizes and

reduces the data, then sends it down through a channel with two different streams of

client data, each in its own particular time slot. The digital system has an ability to

carry 64 kbps to 120 Mbps of data rates (Lebaka et al., 2022).

The Arduino Uno is the microcontroller chip that is responsible for all the functions of

our proposed project. It functions as the brain of this system and has a gas sensor

module, which is useful for gas leakage detection in homes and industry. It is

suitable for detecting LPG, CO, and CH4 and has a GSM module to alert users via

11
SMS if there is a gas leak and whether any of the factors triggers the alarm.

Detection and transmission and receiving modules are the two important modules in

the proposed system. The outcome was that the security level of the home can be

increased by detecting gas leakage and sending an alert. We all know that not every

household can afford to buy a gas leakage alarm system to alert them if their gas

tank is leaking, which is where our invention comes in. Catastrophic events such as

fire can be or will be avoided by using this invention to detect or sense gas leakage

in your gas tank. The Arduino uses hardware known as the Arduino development

board and software for developing the code known as the Arduino IDE (Integrated

Development Environment). Built with the 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontroller that is

manufactured by Atmel or a 32-bit Atmel ARM, these microcontrollers can be

programmed easily using the C or C++ language in the Arduino IDE. Also, Arduino is

commonly used in microcontroller programming among other things due to its user-

friendly and easy-to-use settings. Like any microcontroller, an Arduino is a small

circuit board with a chip that can be programmed to do a numerous number of tasks.

It sends information from the computer program to the Arduino microcontroller and

finally to the specific circuit or machine with multiple circuits in order to execute the

specific command. According to Yusuf Abdullahi Badamas, Arduino can help to read

information from input devices such as sensors, antennas, and trimmers

potentiometers and can also send information to output devices 10 such as LEDs,

speakers, LCD screens, and DC motors. According to Shamsul Aizal Zulkifli and

Mohd Najib Russin, Arduino can also be used as a microcontroller for a 3 phase

inverter, while Tiffany Tang stated that there was also a project that linked Arduino

with Kinect to control motion. This shows that there are so many applications an

12
Arduino can be used for and in this project, an Arduino will be used to process data

gained from a pH sensor before being transmitted to a mobile phone.

The study uses Arduino to gather the data and compute for the desired output of the

project. The system detects LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) leaks using a gas

sensor and uses GSM to notify the user of the gas leak via SMS. When the LPG

concentration in the air exceeds a certain threshold, the gas sensor detects gas

leakage and the sensor output becomes LOW. The microcontroller detects this and

simultaneously turns on the LED and buzzer. The system then notifies the person via

SMS to the specified mobile phone. Furthermore, N. Manohar Raju and Manohar

Raju Sushma Rani (2014) published an article titled Android Based Automatic Gas

Detection and Indication Robot in which the proposed prototype depicts a mini

mobile robot capable of detecting a leakage in hazardous places and automatically

sending a notification when a leakage is detected. Nonetheless, the project is built

on Android for Android-based smartphones and sends notifications via Bluetooth. A

GSM module is used, which alerts the user by 13 sending an SMS (Ashish et al.,

2013). This has a broader focus beyond kitchen gas leakages.

The purpose of this study is to see how effective this help is in a trainer model for

improving students' performance in checking and repairing wiring or encoding in

Arduino Uno to activate the alarm system. The conclusions and implications are as

follows: has been reached. Understanding such fundamental principles will enable

students to be self-sufficient and confident in their abilities to install a gas leak

detection and alarm system using an Arduino Uno. The Arduino IDE software is used

to compile the Arduino. The Arduino IDE. The Arduino IDE is the Integral Development

13
program, which is common to all the boards, which allows us to upload sketches and

write the code from our web browser (Google Chrome recommended) to any Arduino

Board. It is an online platform. The USB connection is essential to connect the

computer with the board. This software is the one that proclaims machine language

to be the language of logic to do the tasks we command. In this study, the Arduino

that we use is a type of Arduino Uno R3. With Arduino, researchers can assemble

devices that have systems that can detect gas. Setup for the Arduino Uno and the

Arduino programming environment is described, and several sensors are described

with practical examples to provide the basis for subsequent projects.

 METHODOLOGY

A. RESEARCH DESIGN

This is a hardware and software development project in which the experimental

research method will be used. GAL SMART Detection System was developed in

conjunction with a given gas leak security system. The system is secured due to the

combination of Arduino Uno, SIM Card, Buzzer, LCD 16x2 I2C, MQ6 Gas Sensor,

and the SIM900A containing the six components. The researchers will program the

microcontroller to send a command to the GSM to send the warning.

Fig. 1

The gas sensor serves as the starting point for the system design. When the gas

sensor detects a leak, it will sound an alarm and automatically notify the person who

will receive the message. The microcontroller processes the gas leak signal, and the

GSM Module activates, allowing it to send alert messages.

D. METHODS AND PROCEDURES

The following are the primary materials that will be acquired and prepared:

LCD 16x2 I2C, MQ6 Gas Sensor, GSM Module SIM900A, Buzzer, LED lights and

resistor, and jumper cable (male to male and male to female) Arduino Uno is the

most important piece in this project, in view of the fact that it will be used to

command other pieces of the GAL SMART detection system. Gas sensor MQ6 will

be responsible to detect gases roaming around the device such as LPG, Propane,

Butane, and LNG. GSM Module SIM900A was created to receive and send text

through a Short Messaging Service (SMS). It will be linked to the MQ6 Gas Sensor

and send a text message whenever the device detects gas leakage. A buzzer, often

known as a beeper, is an audible signaling device. It will be used to warn and alert

the nearby house member/s. LCD 16x2 I2C is used to interpret the gas detected in

PPM. All of the electronic materials are connected via jumper wires.

First, the Arduino UNO is connected to all the modules and materials. Each

electronic device will be operated by a 6-12 volt battery. The assembling of the

components will be connected based on the blueprint. The three pins of the MQ6

Gas Sensor the VCC, GND and A0 will be used. The VCC pin will be linked to the

"+" of 5V on the breadboard, GND pin on the "-" of 5V on the breadboard, and the A0

to the A0 that can be seen on the Arduino Uno. LCD 16x2 I2C is intended to use its

four pins including GND, VCC, SDA, and SCL. The GND and VCC of the LCD 16x2

I2C will be connected to the breadboard, VCC on the "+" and GND on the "-". While

the SDA will be connected to the SDA pin on the Arduino Uno and the SCL will be

connected to the SCL found on the Arduino Uno. The positive line on the breadboard

18
will be connected to the "5V", while the negative line on the breadboard will be

connected to the "GND" on the "Power" pins for the power source. Both the LCD and

MQ6 Gas Sensor must attain 5 volts to work. Each piece of the device will be

connected using jumper cables. The Arduino Uno Microcontroller Chip will be

programmed using the Arduino IDE software. The USB cable will be used to connect

the Arduino Uno and the software. Since the application doesn't provide a code for

this specific device, the Arduino-LiquidCrystal-I2C-master.zip, Software Serial_h-

E. RESEARCH LOCALE

This research will be conducted at Muntinlupa National High School-Main. Muntinlupa

National High School-Main (MNHS-Main) Senior High School is one of the public schools in

Muntinlupa City, Philippines. It is located at University Rd, Poblacion, Muntinlupa, 1776

Metro Manila. MNHS-Main is the largest school in the National Capital Region and the third-

largest school in the whole country. It provides a basic education system from Junior to

Senior High School. This school has four senior high school tracks: Academic Track, Arts and

Design Track, Sports Track, and Technological Vocational Livelihood Track.

The researchers will conduct the study at Muntinlupa National High School-Main (MNHS-

Main) Senior High School. Because that is a good place for conducting the study. Due to the

fact that, the school has plenty of open space areas and workplaces, including the

researchers' classroom, the covered court, and the front of the school's clinic, which has

chairs and tables. Working at one of the researchers' homes/other locations is not as safe as

working at the school, where there are guards and authorities. Furthermore, the tools and

materials required to assemble the gas detector are portable and can be brought to school.

The process of developing the project poses no risk to the researchers.

21
 RECOMMENDATION

Awareness should be implemented in order to address the lack of understanding and

misconceptions about the LPGAL Gas sensor. Given these characteristics, they have

generated significant interest in both theoretical research and practical applications in

sensor technology and devices. Any type of hot work in which heat is used or generated,

such as electric circuit, flame cutting, and grinding, that could result in sparks or other

sources of ignition could result in the uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons or other

flammable or toxic materials. Electrical instrumentation work that may result in sparks.

Investigation of gas alarms and entry into potentially hazardous environments. Extreme

precautions is advised as the researchers might exposed from the gas during the

experimentation and data gathering. This study is not yet enough to prevent totally a fire

cases mainly caused by gas leakage. We are open to help the future researchers, who're

willing to enhance the capabilities of the LPGAL detection device and broaden the

knowledge and skills in gas tracking, through this study. Natural gas is to broad to study,

some of them are flammable, some are not and sometimes hard to access. The future

researchers must choose with a care and knowledge of what gas they should focus. During

the experimentation and data gathering, the researchers must have a complete information

about the gas and should have at least one expert to guide and instruct them to keep the

whole experimentation safe. The future researchers are advised that safety should always

come first.

22
 CONCLUSION

Thus, the conclusion is that we can be aware of any danger that can be caused by gas

leakage and further catching fire and causing more damage and danger. It’s SMS technique,

that doesn’t based on either the network service of the sim card to be used and how far the

owner of the device from it, can also be used with GSM technology to send messages to

emergency services. We can also use it to detect various other gases other than LPG and

CNG. It will be helpful in public places like Mall’s, hospital’s, hotel’s etc. In such places there

is a huge rush of people, women and small children.
