Project Summary

LPG and Natural Gas Detection and Control:

LPG and Natural Gas have become an indispensable part  of  our  life  as  it  is  an  important  source  of  fuel  for cooking  and  also  used in  automobiles  as  an  alternative  to  petrol and  diesel. Although it is  a  clean  fuel   it   poses  a  threat   as  it   is   highly  combustible. The   LPG’s   are available  either  in pressurized  cylinders  or  as  in  pipeline  supply in  both  cases  there  is high  chance  of  leakage. Gas  leakage  leads  to  various  accidents  resulting  into  both  financial loss  as well  as  human  injuries . The risk of firing, explosion , suffocation  all  are  based on  their  physical  properties  such  as  flammability , toxicity  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  sub-standard cylinders , old  valves , worn  out  regulators  and lack  of  awareness  using gas  cylinders  add  to  the risks.

Currently available Gas leakage detector systems only detect the leakage and alert the user through buzzer and visual display. Which is not enough to avoid gas leakage accidents.

Our project is geared towards the implementation of security system that monitors the leakage on regular basis using sensors. The proposed system has two main parts, a master
unit and remote units. Remote unit is used to detect the leakage and turn off the gas valve. If the gas leakage further increases, remote unit will turn off the electric supply locally to avoid accident due to spark and alert the master unit wirelessly. Master unit will turn of the main supply valve to avoid further leakage, the alarm system is activated through buzzer and will alert the user about the gas leakage through SMS. If the consumer is not available and the master unit doesn’t receive acknowledgement, then the system will alert the emergency system through Web. There will be a dedicated web page for emergency center and in case any emergency occur it will provide complete address and coordinates of spot so that rescue team may arrive on time at the scene of the rescue.

Project Objectives

Project Objectives:

• To design a system that detects the leakage of both LPG and Natural gas.
• To make a system that has capability to provide control by tripping-off gas supply automatically to avoid further leakage.
• To install multiple units to secure the whole building through a centralized controller.
• To inform the user through mobile
• On unavailability of user at the place of accident, inform the rescue center in case of emergency.

Project Implementation Method

Project Implementation Method:

Benefits of the Project

Benefits of the project:

LPG and Natural Gas Detection and Control project is beneficial for mankind on domestic as well as on industrial level. It can easily be implemented in our homes, offices, shops, in short all residential areas. It is capable enough to handle any feature and advancements as per requirement.

The implemented LPG and Natural gas Detection and Control offers a number of advantages over dependence on unreliable detection by human sense of smell. The automated gas detection and evacuation process ensures safety by preventing gas induced house fires. The device performs the following:

• It detects LPG leakage using MQ-6 sensor
• Activates an alarm upon gas leakage detection, and it stops the alarm once the leakage is under control (gas concentration in the atmosphere is within normal range)
• Shows ‘LPG Leakage Alert’ on LCD
• It incorporates  an SMS  based alert mechanism, and  it sends SMS text (alert  message) to  mobile number/s
• Shuts off gas supply using a solenoid valve when gas leakage is detected
• It evacuates the leaked gas from the leakage area using an exhaust fan
• If the consumer is not available and the master unit doesn’t receive acknowledgement, then the system will alert the emergency system through Web.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Our main idea  is  to  implement  wireless  security  system  for  detecting  leakage  of  gas in  closed environment  using  sensors. The proposed system has two main parts, a master unit and remote units. Remote unit is used to detect the leakage and turn off the gas valve. If the gas leakage further increases, remote unit will turn off the electric supply locally to avoid accident due to spark and alert the master unit wirelessly. Master unit will turn of the main supply valve to avoid further leakage, the  alarm  system  is activated  through  buzzer and will alert the user about the gas leakage through SMS. If the consumer is not available and the master unit doesn’t receive acknowledgement, then the system will alert the emergency system through Web. There will be a dedicated web page for emergency center and in case any emergency occur it will provide complete address and coordinates of spot so that rescue team may arrive on time at the scene of the rescue.
