Gas Leakage Detection Long Report
Gas Leakage Detection Long Report
Project Title
Gas Leakage Detection Sensor using Arduino UNO is a project designed to enhance safety measures in
residential and industrial environments. The system utilizes an Arduino UNO microcontroller along with a gas
sensor to detect hazardous gas leaks. By providing early warning alerts, the project aims to prevent accidents
caused by gas leakage, thereby ensuring safety and security.
Team Members
This project is developed by a team of dedicated students who have collaborated to integrate their technical
knowledge and skills. Each member has contributed significantly to various aspects, including circuit design,
programming, and testing. The students come from different backgrounds within the engineering department,
and their combined efforts have made this project a success.
Guide/Supervisor
The project has been supervised and guided by an experienced faculty member who provided insights and
technical support. With expertise in embedded systems and sensor technologies, the supervisor played a
crucial role in refining the project. Regular mentorship sessions helped the team overcome challenges and
enhance the performance of the gas leakage detection system.
Objective
The objective of this project is to develop an efficient gas leakage detection system that can identify and alert
users in the event of a gas leak. With the increasing usage of LPG and other gases in households and
industries, the risk of accidental leaks is high. This project focuses on providing a cost-effective and reliable
solution that ensures early detection and prevents potential hazards.
Methodology
The gas leakage detection system is built using an MQ-2 gas sensor interfaced with an Arduino UNO
microcontroller. The MQ-2 sensor is capable of detecting LPG, methane, and smoke by analyzing the
concentration of gases in the environment. When the gas concentration exceeds a predefined threshold, the
system activates an alarm mechanism that includes a buzzer and an LED indicator. Additionally, the gas level
is displayed on an LCD screen for real-time monitoring. The circuit is powered by a 9V power supply, and all
components are carefully integrated to ensure efficient performance. The Arduino code processes the sensor
data, triggers alerts, and continuously monitors the gas concentration levels.
Innovation and Impact
This gas leakage detection system offers a practical and innovative solution to gas safety concerns. Unlike
traditional gas detection methods, this system provides an automated and real-time alerting mechanism,
making it highly effective. Its affordability and ease of installation make it suitable for domestic as well as
industrial applications. Future enhancements can include wireless connectivity for remote monitoring and
IoT-based features, allowing users to receive alerts on their mobile devices, thereby improving overall safety
measures.
