SmartGuard: An Intelligent LPG Leakage Detection and Control System

The increasing incidents of gas leakage have become an important concern for both domestic and industrial environments. Burners, pipes, and regulators are just a few examples of places where LPG leaks can happen. Installing a kit that can detect leakage of LPG is one of its preventative strategies for avoiding gas leakage incidents. Therefore, designing and developing a smart device for controlling LPG leakage has become necessary. The developed device aims to prevent hazardous situations by detecting gas leakage and shutting off the gas supply automatically. The device comprises sensors that can sense the level of LPG in the air and send signals to the microcontroller unit when the level is exceeded. The processing unit of the device processes the data and sends the signal to the control unit to shut off the gas supply. The system design is in a way that along with the immediate control over the gas supply, it also allows manual control. The device also includes an alarm system to alert the users of the leakage. The developed intelligent device offers a low-cost and real-time efficient solution to prevent gas leakage and associated hazards.
