IoT-Based LPG Leakage Detection System with Prevention Compensation

Abstract

Safety apparatus for the use of LPG gas connections in common households and industries against hazardous conditions such as gas leak, fire and explosion of compressed gas cylinders should be provided. Our aim of this research is to give security to all the people around the world from LP gas leakage by equipping them with an economical and effective alarming system which not only can detect this menace threat but also can automatically control it by its safety line of action. The module consists of a gas sensor MQ6 which has a high sensitivity to gases such as propane and butane which in combination constitutes the LPG. The aim behind our research is to implement a mechanism by automatically disabling the gas supply from the source instantly once the leakage of gas is detected, followed by rapid closure of regulator valve along with triggering an sounding alarm and alerted Wi-Fi display that too without any manual dependence.
