 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

● The design of a sensor-based automatic gas leakage detector with an alert and control
system has been proposed. This is an affordable, less power using, lightweight,
portable, safe, user friendly, efficient, multi featured and simple system device for
detecting gas. Gas leakage detection will not only provide us with significance in the
health department but it will also lead to raise our economy, because when gas leaks
it not only contaminates the atmosphere, but also wastage of gases will hurt our
economy. The need for ensuring safety in workplaces is expected to be the key
driving force for the market over the coming years.

 LITERATURE SURVEY
● We did a research over the possible sources that we could access. In our exploration, we did find the
authors: Luay Friwan, Khaldon Lweesy, Aya Bani-Salma and Nour Mani, who presented a paper
titled “A Wireless Home Safety Gas Leakage Detection System” in the year 2011, November. They
proposed to detect gas with the use of a sensor. This gas sensor senses the changes in gas. Upon
detection of a change, it activates the alarm and sends a signal to the receiver. In addition to it, another
paper titled “Development of multipurpose gas leakage and fire alarm system” was proposed in the
year 2013, by the authors Nivedita S and Padmavathy A. The ideology of this paper was to give
indications of gas or smoke leakage with the help of LED, gas sensors and relay.
● Many Systems similar have been proposed earlier by different authors and researchers and that has
helped us to improve the gas safety issue in our every day to day lives. But there were no steps taken
to prevent the accident in case of leakage. A lot of people would prefer to go with quote ‘prevention is
better than cure’. Our system uses MQ2 gas sensor to detect inflammable gas leakage . When gas
leakage is detected, our device could inform the user, alert them, provide solution from suffocation in
that area, and ultimately prevent the leak from further effects. This makes easy for both the commercial
as well as domestic sector to keep track on the problems faced on daily basis. Hence, we have a cure
and a curb to treat gas leakage.

 PROBLEM FORMULATION

● Gas leakage is nothing but the leak of any gaseous molecule from a stove, or
a pipeline, or cylinder etc. This can occur either purposefully or even
unintendedly. As we are aware that these kinds of leaks are dangerous to our
health, and when it becomes explosive it could cause great danger to the
people, home, workplace, industry and the environment.

 PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

Our device consists of three main parts.

a) Detection System
● This part consists of a gas sensor MQ2 and this will continuously monitor the gas concentration.
b) Prevention System
● This part consists of a special type of Gas valve that we will be designing that will be similar to
present regular valves but a servo motor will be attached to its control knob to allow automatic
and as well as manual control. A connection to 16X2 Lcd display is made, in which the sensor
would make it run in case of gas detection. All these parts will be interfaced with Arduino Uno
which will be controlling the whole device.
c) Alerting System
● It consists of a buzzer where in it alerts by ringing of the buzzer.

● Arduino
It is a microcontroller developed by Arduino.cc which is equipped with pins of both
analog and digital type. This board can be encoded using the Arduino IDE software. It
comes in various types, in which here we have used Arduino Uno. It would receive
the signal upon detection of gas and performs the command to turn the knob off,
opening of the windows and indicating via LED.
● MQ2 Gas Sensor
The term ‘MQ’ comes from the Chinese word Mingan meaning sensitive and Qi lai
meaning gas.
As the name suggests, it senses the gas, smoke, fume etc. It detects by allowing the
gas to pass through the electrode having membrane. Then, it creates current flow as
the gas gets oxidised. The current is responsible for determining the type of gas.

● Buzzer
This electromechanical device is used for audio signalling. This can be accessed via
timers or alarming or by the confirmation of the user. Here, the mechanism used is to
alert the user upon the detection of the gas
