Abstract :-

Leakage of any kind of gas has been a concern in recent years, whether it is in
a residential setting, a business, a cafe, or a canteen. In this paper development of
an IoT based gas wastage monitoring, leakage detecting and alerting system is
proposed. This paper elaborates design such an intelligent system that will help save
gas and smartly prevent accidents. This system can be integrated to industries so it
could help with the excess gas leakage in industries. The moment gas leakage will
probably be recognized, users will be informed via cloud through Node red, and so
that user can solve the issue as soon as possible. The system will monitor methane
gas using MQ5 sensor. When a methane gas is detected, the buzzer begins to sound
and led lights up. Aside from that, the system also has a cloud storage capability.
The usage of gas for each user each day may be tracked with the aid of this cloud
storage solution. At the end of the day, this procedure will assist in detecting natural
gas usage by individual users. The system has been tested and it is able to monitor
gas wastage, leakage and send a alert the user. The resulting performance indicated
its effectiveness toward saving a significant portion of the gas wasted in industries.
Introduction :-

Now a days the industry safety detection system plays the important role for
the security of people. Since all the people from the industry goes to work on daily
basis, it makes impossible to check on the appliances available at industry daily.
Since methene has been widely used as a fuel to height it is a needed resource. To
meet this access amount of demand for energy and replace oil or coal due to their
environmental disadvantage, natural gas is preferred. These gases are mostly used
on large scale in industry, heating, home appliances and motor fuel. So as to track
this leakage gas, the system includes MQ5 gas sensor. This sensor senses the
amount of gas leakage present in the surrounding atmosphere. Through this,
explosion or getting affected by the leakage of gas could be avoided.

Objective :-

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.
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.

Few of the major incidents that took place due to gas leakage include the
Bhopal Disaster and the Vizag Gas leak. The Bhopal disaster is known to be
the worst industrial accident ever. Approximately 45 tons of Methyl
Isocyanate was leaked from this insecticide plant. Methyl Isocyanate is an
organic compound and a chemical that could come from the carbamate
pesticides. This colorless, poisonous and flammable liquid is something that
human beings have to be away from.
Vizag Gas leak was a resultant of the escape of styrene that were
unattended for a long period. This colorless oily liquid can spread in fumes.
So, a detector must be made in such a way that could detect any kind of gas,
fume, leak, smoke etc. However harmful and dangerous it can be, the
detector could be attached with certain parameters that could help to
prevent the issue.

ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system on a chip
microcontrollers integrated Wi-fi and dual-mode bluetooth. The ESP32 series
employs either a Tenicilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core and
single-core variations, Xtensa LX7 dual-core microprocessor or a single-core
RISC-V microprocessor and includes built-in antenna switches, RF-bulan, power
amplifier, low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power-management modules.
ESP32 is created and developed by Espressif System, a Shanghai-based
Chinese company, and is manufactured by TSMC using their 40 nm process. [
LED :-

LED (Light Emitting Diode) is an optoelectronic device which works

on the principle of electro-luminance. Electro-luminance is the property of the
material to convert electrical energy into light energy and later it radiates this light
energy. In the same way, the semiconductor in LED emits light under the influence
of electric field. The symbol of LED is formed by merging the symbol of P-N Junction
diode and outward arrows. These outward arrows symbolise the light radiated by
the light emitting diode.

Resistor :-

A passive electrical component with two terminals that are used for either limiting or
regulating the flow of electric current in electrical circuits.
Buzzer:-

A buzzer or beeper in an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical,

electrochemical, orpiezelentric (piezo for short).Typical uses of buzzzers and beepers
include alarm devices, timers, and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or
keystroke

Gas Sensor :-

A gas sensor is a device which detects the presence or concentration of gases

in the atmosphere. Based on the concentration of the gas the sensor produces a
corresponding potential difference by changing the resistance of the material inside
the sensor, which can be measured as output voltage. Based on this voltage value
the type and concentration of the gas can be estimated.
PIR Sensor:-

A passive infrared sensor (PIR Sensor) is an electronic sensor that

measure infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most
often used in PIR-based motion detectors. PIR sensors are commonly used in
security alarms and automatic lighting applications. PIR sensors detect general
movement, but do not give information on who or what moved.

Servo Sensor:-

A servomotor (or servo motor) is a rotary acuator or linear acuator that

allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity and acceleration. It
consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. It also
requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed
specifically for use with servomotors. Servomotors are not a specific class of
motor, although the term servomotor is often used to refer to a motor suitable for
use in a closed loop control system.
Proposed Method :-

Esp32 is the main unit of the system which performs the following tasks. A
signal conditioning of the random values is done by output signal of the sensor,
provided by Esp32 in wokwi . The detection results displayed on LED according the
high and low levels of methene which Indicates the people of danger in work place,
factory, home. Buzzer activity with beep(siren) sound is made. Also send alert SMS
to the in charge of the person whose number is saved in SIM card by using GSM
modem. The SMS received depends upon the leak of gas in the detection area of the
sensor. If the is no motion detected then the servo closes the door which stops the
spreading of methane.

Solution Statement :-

The system can be taken as a small attempt in connecting the existing

primary gas detection methods to a mobile platform integrated with IoT
platforms. The gases are sensed in an area of 1m radius of the cover and the
sensor outputs data which are continuously transmitted to the local server.
The accuracy of sensors are not up to standard thus stray gases are also
detected which creates an amount of error in the outputs of the sensors,
especially in case of methane. Further the availability and storage of toxic
gases like hydrogen sulphide also creates problems for testing the assembled
hardware. As the system operates outside the pipeline, the complication of
system maintenance and material selection of the system in case of corrosive
gases is reduced. Thus the system at this stage can only be used as a primary
indicator of leakage inside a plant.
Conclusion :-

After this project performance, can conclude that detection of the methene
gas leakage is incredible in the project system. Applicable usefully in the industrial
and domestic purpose. In danger situations we are able to save the life by using this
system. An alert is indicated by the GSM module. A sensor node senses gas like CO2,
oxygen, propane. The estimated range of transmission and consumption of power
is obtained. The simple procedures and Esp32 used to build the sensor.
