Abstract:- The main aim of this project is to survey the
different kinds of toxic gas monitoring systems implemented
in various applications to prevent from dangerous. With the
advance & rapid adoption of wireless sensors networks in the
last decades, source localizations and boundary estimation
have became the priority of research work. In addition,
accurate boundary estimation is a critical issue due to fast
movement, changing shape, and invisibility of the gas leakage
compared with the other single object detections. We prevent
various gas diffusion schemes along with detection with on-off
control of dangerous toxic gas
Keywords:-MQ-9 gas sensor, Solenoid valve, Relay
Application:- Chemical Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry,
Household. Fertilizer Manufacturer
Usually workers are wearing mask for protection, but
still their health is suffering and many of the workers even
loss their life due to leakage of this hazardous gas.
There are certain system existing for this work but they
are completely manual. As shown in below mentioned
literature review, Alarm system has been used. But the
labours have to go & shut off the valve manually.
In this invention, we are adding Solenoid Valve for
automatic shutting off the valve whenever sensor senses the
leakage of toxic gas. We are also introducing the automatic
power tripping & exhaust mechanism is provided to
exhaust the leaked gas.
II. METHODOLOGY

I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Problem Summary:
With the rapid development of petrochemical industries
in recent years, the interest in gas leakage detection &
localization has increased due to loss of life, injuries &
damaged equipment caused by the toxic gas leakage. Apart
from manufacturing & production point of view, real time
information about the distribution area of hazardous toxic
gases in large scale industry is needed to ensure safety
precaution for the line working staff during various
operations in production, storage, usage. Thus, gas leakage
source estimation continues to be a major part of intelligent
industrial sensing system.
1.2 Project Detail:
The main field where this system will be used is
Industries, Houses, Waste water treatment plant and other
areas where the gas leakage is done.
We are developing gas leakage detection system with
Auto Shut down system which will be driven by
Microcontroller (Atmega32).The major components used a. Power supply: The power available is in form of 230V
in this system are gas sensors, Relay, Solenoid Valve, AC, 1 phase, 50Hz. The components we are using in the
Buzzer etc. circuit are also operated on 12VDC. Hence we are using
Adapter to convert 230VAC to 12VDC & provide power to
1.3 Problem Specificatons: microcontroller.
We had observed that the workers are suffering from
toxic gas leakage.

b. Microcontroller: The Atmel8-bit AVR RISC based
microcontroller combines 32kb ISP flash memory with
read-write capabilities, 1kb EEPROM, 2kb SRAM, 23
general purpose registers, three flexible timer counters with
compare modes. As soon as the leakage of toxic gas is
detected, the signal is given to the relay to operate and
immediately automatically shut down the solenoid valve
and also to the buzzer to give audible signal.
c. Gas Sensor: The MQ-9 gas sensors are used to detect the
leaked toxic/combustible gas senses it and then sends the
interrupt signal to the microcontroller. This sensor is a
highly sensitive device which can sense the changes
immediately compare to other gas sensors.
d. Relay: A relay is electrically operated switch which
operates on principle of electromagnet to mechanically
operate a switch. Relays are used where it is necessary to
control a circuit by a high/low power signal that is they are
used to isolate one voltage level from the other. Here the
relay is used to energize the solenoid valve & exhaust
mechanism.
e. Solenoid Valve: It is an electromechanical actuated valve
to control the flow of liquids and gases. It is an electric coil
with a movable ferromagnetic core in its centre. This core
is called plunger. In rest position, plunger closes off a small
orifice. An electric current through the coil creates a
magnetic field. The magnetic field exerts a force on
plunger. As a result, the plunger is pulled toward the centre
of the coil so that the orifice opens.
f. Buzzer: It is also known as Beeper. It is a signal which
can be available in an audio format. The uses of buzzer are
alarm devices. The buzzer is used to indicate in audible
format.
III. EXPECTED OUTCOME
The main purpose of this system is to save the human
life. We proposed automatic shut down system with gas
leakage sensors which can sense the leakage of toxic gas in
industry. After that this sensor gives the signal to
microcontroller. Microcontroller gives sends the signal to
relay for operate.
When relay will operate, Solenoid valve which attached
with main line will operate and shut off the valve. Exhaust
system will exhaust the leaked toxic gas.
IV. CONCLUSION
In this project we represented our work on developing an
affordable and efficient method of detection of toxic gas by
use of automatic shut-off valve system.
National Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology -2018, Organized by Laxmi Institute of Technology, Gujarat, India
We can implement automatic system which using
solenoid valve to shut off the knob of main line as compare
to stepper motor. Our system decreases cost, increase
safety of labours and can operate automatically compare to
motor which decreases the time of operation.
