ABSTRACT

There are many methods are available for booking a LPG gas in the gas agency. Methods include
online booking, telephonic booking etc. But sometimes user may forget to do the booking due to
the various reasons. It will be difficult situation for the one who uses LPG gas for cooking
regularly. So we have proposed a new system which automatically book a cylinder when the gas is
about to empty by sending a SMS by using GSM. . In addition to that LPG sensor is used to detect
gas leakage in the home. If any gas leakage detected automatically it will send SMS to the owner
and operates regulator to avoid leakage. GSM is one of the most cellular networks used in India. In
our project load cell have been used to monitor the weight of the LPG gas regularly. The values are
next feed to the microcontroller. If the gas level in the cylinder goes below the threshold level, then
a SMS will be sent to gas agency automatically to book the new cylinder. Then a reply SMS will be
sending to the customer about the booking status. At the same time application software must
developed in the gas agency to inform and record the booking.

IOT ENABLED SURVEILLANCE AND ALERTING FOR LPG CONTAINERS

CHAPTER 1
PREAMBLE
1.1 INTRODUCTION

These days liquid petroleum gas (LPG) is widely used in many fields, especially in household
purposes. The leakage of LPG may lead to severe casualties. So there is a risk of increased
accidents, with rise. in its usage. So it's necessary to have a system which continuously monitors
the LPG cylinder. This project has an effective way of monitoring the gas quantity in the container
and also to detect any leakage to notify the user by means of internet through IOT module.[1]
With the raising demand for LPG, users have to be compelled to pre book their LPG cylinder a
minimum of a month before the delivery of the new LPG cylinder. Most of the days, users find it
difficult to figure out what quantity of LPG left at intervals the cylinder and this causes tons of
bother to them.
The principal participants in the LPG industry – producers, suppliers, traders, marketers,
equipment manufacturers, transporters and installers – all have responsibilities in the area of
safety. They should collaborate to ensure the efficient discharge of their responsibilities. Because
of the wide range of LPG applications, and the variations in the scale of usage, there are many
categories of consumer. These range from households (often the largest single category) to
industrial or chemical complexes where LPG may be only one of many hazardous products on
site. [3]
Now a day‟s every one want a facility which reduce their efforts, time and provide a way to do
their work more easily. For cooking food all lpg gas is used. It produced in 1910 by „Dr. Walter
Snelling‟. LPG is a mixture of commercial propane and commercial butane having saturated as
well as unsaturated hydrocarbons. LPG having versatile nature so its demand raise day by day.

In INDIA gas distributer uses IVRS, SMS or ONLINE booking for LPG which are time
consuming methods in fast running life.Some uneducated people are not able to do these task and
busy schedule people they haven’t sufficient time to do all the activity. Also safety plays the
important role. As there are many accidents happen due to gas leakage. So to avoid these
difficulties this project is developed. This project is designed by considering a safety issues and
also provide Easy way for LPG booking. In the project MQ-6 gas sensor is use to sense the
leakage gas. After that leakage motor will close the regulator and through GSM message is send to
the user.

IOT ENABLED SURVEILLANCE AND ALERTING FOR LPG CONTAINERS

1.2 OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this project are:
1) Detection of leakage occurring by an LPG cylinder.
2) Monitoring the level of gas left in the cylinder used in households , restaurants , Industries.
3) Detection of fire LPG cylinder and sending indication through a notification to household
people.
.
1.3 PROBLEM STATEMENT
A significant challenge associated with LPG gas usage is the occurrence of leaks. The primary
issue lies in the fact that even when an alarm is activated, users may remain unaware of the gas
leakage if they are not present at their residence or premises. To address this concern, a proactive
approach involves regular weight checks of the gas cylinder. By monitoring the cylinder's weight
periodically, users can receive timely notifications when the gas level is low, enhancing their
awareness and allowing them to take necessary precautions. Additionally, in the absence of
household occupants, conventional fire detection methods may prove ineffective, making it crucial
to explore alternative means of identifying fires in unattended areas.

1.4 METHODOLOGY
 The level of LPG is measured using the load sensor. The output of the sensor is connected with
Arduino R3.
 By using this, user can detect the current LPG level and it is continuously displayed on the
LCD. User know the validity of LPG usage from the date of initialization.
 The principle behind working of this project is the opaqueness property of smoke. In case when
there is no smoke the infrared sensors are continuously in view of each other.
 Temperature sensor will keep track of the real time temperature to the room. If the
temperature of the room starts increasing or any gas leak is detected, the respective authorities
would be notified immediately.
 Using temperature sensor and air quality sensor the system will detect a fire breakout when
there are no people around the vicinity.
 Gas leakage is detected by the gas sensors (MQ-6). By using this, user can detect the current
LPG level and it is continuously displayed on the LCD.

LITERATURE SURVEY
Paper 1
Authors: Sayeda nahid & Navid Anjum
Research focus : Development of a Smart Automatic Gas Leakage Detector
Published on : 16 July
. 2023
Description : This paper [1] analyses that LPG is widely used as a source of fuel, mainly in urban
regions. Due to the extremely combustible nature of the gas, there is always the risk
of gas leakage as a consequence of carelessness or failure of the regulating valve
on the gas cylinder, which poses a significant risk. Gas-related fires are on the rise,
which may be prevented by utilizing a gas leakage detection system,necessitating
the creation of a microcontroller-based cooking gas detector. The use of a
microcontroller allows for the creation of a highly precise and quick reaction time
detecting system.

Research focus : Smart Fire Detectation and Security System
Published on : 10 January 2023
Description : This paper [2] goal is to design and implement a microcontroller-based smart fire
detection and security system with real-time web integration. Most of the available
fire alarms depend on the gas sensor only, which is not efficient enough to secure
life and property. To minimize the issue, we bring a multi-sensor fire detection and
notification technology. The significance of our study is to detect fire at an early
stage with the help of multiple sensors like temperature, gas, and flame. We also
use a motion sensor for detecting movement during a fire event. It can be used for
security purposes as well.

Research focus : LPG Gas Detection and Monitoring Using IoT
Published on : 06 June 2023
Description : This paper[3] explains that minor leak can build up an explosive gas
concentration, making leaks exceedingly dangerous. The current gas detector is less
effective because the user can only detect gas leaks by utilising it. It's risky because
gas leaks must be found early. The Gas Leakage Detector with Alert System was
created to prevent fire or explosion in homes or businesses. This gas detector
continually detects gas if it has power. Arduino UNO was utilised as the CPU to
process sensor information and deliver an SMS alert to the user. The buzzer will
ring until harmful gas levels are reached. These projects avoid fires from
unattended cooking and gas explosions from gas leaks.

Published on : 16 May 2022
Description
: This paper[4] explains the probability of fires is highly increasing in buildings under
construction, where melting and other fire-related processes take place excessively. In
addition,. fires generate smoke that causes serious injuries to human health. For
instance,when going to camping, people may breathe in carbon monoxide and other
toxic gases, formed due to the burning of charcoal, which leads to hazardous health
issues. Moreover, and especially in the Middle East and the GCC, oil and gas leaks
can seriously add to the problems of fires.Huge amount of H 2 S gases and other
liquid petroleum gases (LPG) leaks occur in Kuwait oil rigs and refineries, causing
harmful diseases.

Research focus : IoT-based LPG Gas Leakage Detection and Prevention System
Published on : 26 March 2023
Description :This paper[5] analysis that LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) is a form of natural gas
which has been liquefied under extreme pressure and then contained in a metal
cylinder. It is very sensitive to fire and can cause a great disaster if it's exposed to any
fire source without precaution. LPG is more available than any other natural gas so
most people choose LPG for their needs like cooking and other needs. So the event of
gas leakage or blast occurring by leaked gas is frequently seen and heard. In this paper,
a device has been introduced to prevent any possible accident from happening. It is
called Smart Gas and Fire detector. The device can detect any spillage of gas and fire
very quickly and send a response via gsm tool directly to the user very fast and a
buzzer is set up to alert.

Research focus : Smart LPG Gas Level Detection and Safety System using IoT
Published on : 22 December 2022
Description
:This paper[6] explains LPG is an odourless gas which is a mixture of propane and
butane. It contains both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Ethyl Mercaptan is
the stanching agent which is used to impart odour to the odourless LPG. LPG is
liquefied under moderate pressure and has replaced many conventional fuel systems in
household and commercial sectors. Though it is one of the most commonly used fuels,
it has an explosive range of 1.8%9.5% volume of gas in air.The main application of
the LPG is that it is used in the place of chlorofluro carbon which cause great damage
to the ozone layer. LPG is packed into 3 categories according to the weight of the LPG
in the cylinder: Household, Commercial and Industrial.

CHAPTER 3
PROPOSED SYSTEM
3.1 BRIEF PROPOSED SYSTEM
1. LPG gas detection
2. Auto gas booking.
.
3.1.1 LPG gas detection

In LPG gas detection of leakage gas is done by gas sensor which is interfaced with microcontroller.
When gas is detected motor will be turn on and it immediately turn off the gas regulator at the same
time the user is informed about the gas leakage by sending the SMS, turning on the buzzer and also
message displaying on LCD.
3.1.2 Auto gas booking.
In auto gas booking user can continuously measure the amount of gas which is present in the
cylinder. When gas level goes below the set level then message will be send to the gas agency
through GSM and confirmation message received by the user from gas agency. So user get
cylinder within time.
3.2 BLOCK DIAGRAM OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
The block diagram of proposed system is shown in fig 3.1

Fig 3.1 : Block diagram of proposed system.

Dept of ECE, SJCIT 5 2023-24


IOT ENABLED SURVEILLANCE AND ALERTING FOR LPG CONTAINERS

3.2.1 Microcontroller
It is central processing and control unit of the project it receives the output from load cell signal

conditioning circuit, LPG sensor, coverts into digital signal and processes the digital information

and compares the digital information with pre-stored values. Based on the result of comparison
sends the message. to the gas booking agency. In case of gas leakage detected it controls servo
motor to turn off cylinder regulator.[2]

3.2.2 Gas leakage sensor


Gas leakage sensor is used to sense gas leakage in the home, industries, produces electrical
signal
as output which is equivalent to amount of gas leakage detected.
3.2.3 Fire sensor
A flame detector is a type of sensor that can detect and respond to the presence of a flame. These
detectors have the ability to identify smokeless liquid and smoke that can create open fire. For
example, in boiler furnaces flame detectors are widely used, as a flame detector can detect heat,
smoke, and fire.

3.2.4 Load Cell


A load cell is a transducer that is used to convert a force into electrical signal. Mostly cantilever
or bending type load cell is used. Here weight of the cylinder is measured by placing the cylind
er on load cell arrangement. Actually Load cell consists of four strain gauges in a Wheatstone
bridge configuration. Firstly by using mechanical arrangement the force being sensed deforms
a strain gauge and then strain gauge measures the deformation as an electrical signal, because
the strain changes the effective electrical resistance of the wire. Out of the bridge is due to the
applied pressure or force of the cylinder.[3]

3.2.5 GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication)


Collects the information from microcontroller and transmits the information to gas agency in
case of less amount of gas detected, if leakage is detected its sends information to owner
through the link to the concerned authority via RF link.

3.2.6 Cylinder regulator control unit


It consists of servo motor to control angular movement of gas regulator Knob; the motor rotates
from 0 degree to 90 degree and from 90to 0 degree.

4.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS


4.1.1 Arduino Uno R3
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet). The board can operate on
an external supply of 6 to 20 volts.

Fig 4.1 : Board diagram of Arduino Uno R3 [21]


It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16
MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It
contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a
USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.[5]

Power : The Arduino Uno can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power
supply. The power source is selected automatically. External (non-USB) power can come either
from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall- wart) or battery. The adapter can be connected by plugging a
2.1mm center-positive plug into the board's power jack. Leads from a battery can be inserted in
the Gnd and Vin pin headers of the POWER connector.[6]

Dept of ECE, SJCIT 9 2023-24


IOT ENABLED SURVEILLANCE AND ALERTING FOR LPG CONTAINERS

The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts. If supplied with less than 7V,
however, the 5V pin may supply less than five volts and the board may be unstable. If using
more than 12V, the voltage regulator may overheat and damage the board. The recommended
range is 7 to 12 volts. The power pins are as follows:

• VIN. The input voltage to the Arduino board when it's using an external power source (as
opposed to 5 volts from the USB connection or other regulated power source). You can supply
voltage through this pin, or, if supplying voltage via the power jack, access it through this pin.
.
• 5V.This pin outputs a regulated 5V from the regulator on the board. The board can be supplied
with power either from the DC power jack (7 - 12V), the USB connector (5V), or the VIN pin
of the board (7-12V). Supplying voltage via the 5V or 3.3V pins bypasses the regulator, and
can damage your board. We don't advise it.[7]

• 3V3. A 3.3 volt supply generated by the on-board regulator. Maximum current draw is 50 mA.

• GND. Ground pins. Memory The ATmega328 has 32 KB (with 0.5 KB used for the
bootloader). It also has 2 KB of SRAM and 1 KB of EEPROM (which can be read and written
with the EEPROM library). Input and Output Each of the 14 digital pins on the Uno can be
used as an input or output, using pinMode(), digitalWrite(), and digitalRead() functions. They
operate at 5 volts. Each pin can provide or receive a maximum of 40 mA and has an internal
pull-up resistor (disconnected by default) of 20-50 kOhms. In addition, some pins have
specialized functions:

• Serial: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL serial data. These pins
are connected to the corresponding pins of the ATmega8U2 USB-to-TTL Serial chip.

• External Interrupts: 2 and 3. These pins can be configured to trigger an interrupt on a low
value, a rising or falling edge, or a change in value.[8]

• PWM: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. Provide 8-bit PWM output with the analogWrite() function.

• SPI: 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), 13 (SCK). These pins support SPI communication
using the SPI library.
• LED: 13. There is a built-in LED connected to digital pin 13. When the pin is HIGH value, the
LED is on, when the pin is LOW, it's off. The Uno has 6 analog inputs, labeled A0 through
A5, each of which provide 10 bits of resolution (i.e. 1024 different values). By default they
measure from ground to 5 volts, though is it possible to change the upper end of their range
using the AREF pin and the analogReference() function. Additionally, some pins have
specialized functionality:

• Reset. Bring this line LOW to reset the microcontroller. Typically used to add a reset button to
shields which block the one on the board. See also the mapping between Arduino pins and
ATmega328 ports. The mapping for the Atmega8, 168, and 328 is identical. Communication The
Arduino Uno has a number of facilities for communicating with a computer, another Arduino, or
other microcontrollers. The ATmega328 provides UART TTL (5V) serial communication, which
is available on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX).[9]

As per the datasheets of 7805 IC, the basic circuit required for 7805 to work as a complete
regulator is very simple. In fact, if the input supply is an unregulated DC Voltage, then the need of
the two capacitor (even those are not mandatory depending on the implementation). The below
circuit shows all the components required for a 7805 IC to work properly. The 0.22μF Capacitor
near the input is required only if the distance between the regulator IC and the power supply filter
is high. Also, the 0.1μF Capacitor near the output is optional and if used, it helps in the transient
response as shown in fig 4.3

Fig 4.3 : Inter circuit connection of 7805 Regulator [22]


Working

The AC power supply from mains first gets converted into and unregulated DC and then into a
constant regulated DC with the help of this circuit. The circuit is made up of transformer, bridge
rectifier made up from diodes, linear voltage regulator 7805 and capacitors. If you observe, the
working of the circuit can be divided into two parts. In the first part, the AC Mains is converted
into unregulated DC and in the second part, this unregulated DC is converted into regulated 5V
DC. Initially, a 230V to 12V Step down transformer is taken and its primary is connected to mains
supply. The secondary of the transformer is connected to Bridge rectifier (either a dedicated IC or
a combination of 4 1N4007 Diodes can be used). A 1A fuse is placed between the transformer and
the bridge rectifier. This will limit the current drawn by the circuit to 1A. The rectified DC from
the bridge rectifier is smoothened out with the help of 1000μF Capacitor.[11]

So, the output across the 1000μF Capacitor is unregulated 12V DC. This is given as an input to the
7805 Voltage Regulator IC. 7805 IC then converts this to a regulated 5V DC and the output can be
obtained at its output terminals.

IoT product using a few script lines.

Fig 4.5 : Model diagram of Node MCU ESP66 12E [24]

The best way to develop quickly an IoT application with less Integrated circuit to add is to
choose this circuit “NodeMCU”. The module is mainly based on ESP8266 that is a low-cost Wi-
Fi microchip incorporating both a full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability. It is
introduced by manufacturer Espressif Systems. The ESP8266 NodeMcu is a complex device,
which combines some features of the ordinary Arduino board with the possibility of connecting
to the internet. Arduino Modules and Microcontrollers have always been a great choice to
incorporate automation into the relevant project. But these modules come with a little drawback

4.1.6 HX711 Load Cell Amplifier


HX711 is a precision 24-bit analog to-digital converter (ADC) designed for weigh scales and in
industrial control applications to interface directly with a bridge sensor.

Fig 4.7 : Load cell connection diagram and it’s pin out [26]
Here an interfacing 40Kg load cell to the arduino using HX711 Load cell amplifier module. The
input multiplexer selects either Channel A or B differential input to the low- noise programmable
gain amplifier (PGA). Channel A can be programmed with a gain of 128 or 64, corresponding to
a full-scale differential input voltage of ±20mV or ±40mV respectively, when a 5V supply is
connected to AVDD analog power supply pin. Channel B has a fixed gain of 32. Onchip power
supply regulator eliminates the need for an external supply regulator to provide analog power for
the ADC and the sensor. Clock input is flexible. It can be from an external clock source, a
crystal, or the on-chip oscillator that does not require any external component. On-chip poweron-
reset circuitry simplifies digital interface initialization. There is no programming needed for the
internal registers. All controls to the HX711 are through the pins.

Most Load cell have four wires red, black, green and white. On HX711 board you will find E+,
E-, A+, A- and B+, B- connections. Connect load cell

4.1.7 MQ2 Gas Sensor

MQ2 gas sensor is an electronic sensor used for sensing the concentration of gases in the air such
as
LPG, propane, methane, hydrogen, alcohol, smoke and carbon monoxide.

Fig 4.8 : MQ2 Gas sensor [25]

MQ2 gas sensor is also known as chemi-resistor. It contains a sensing material whose resistance
changes when it comes in co MQ2 is a metal oxide semiconductor type gas sensor.
Concentrations of gas in the gas is measured using a voltage divider network present in the
sensor. This sensor works on 5V DC voltage. It can detect gases in the concentration of range
200 to 10000ppm.[16]
Working Principle

This sensor contains a sensing element, mainly aluminium-oxide based ceramic, coated with Tin
dioxide, enclosed in a stainless steel mesh. Sensing element has six connecting legs attached to
it. Two leads are responsible for heating the sensing element, the other four are used for output
signals. Oxygen gets adsorbed on the surface of sensing material when it is heated in air at high
temperature. Then donor electrons present in tin oxide are attracted towards this oxygen, thus
preventing the current flow.

When reducing gases are present, these oxygen atoms react with the reducing gases thereby
decreasing the surface density of the adsorbed oxygen. Now current can flow through the sensor,
which generated analog voltage values. These voltage values are measured to know the
concentration of gas. Voltage values are higher when the concentration of gas is high with the
gas. This change in the value of resistance is used for the detection of gas.[17]

4.1.9 GSM Module


GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) originally from Group Special Mobile is the
most popular standard for mobile telephony systems in the world.

Fig 4.10 : GSM Module [27]


GSM differs from predecessor technologies in that both signalling and speech channels are
digital, and thus GSM is consider a second generation (2G) mobile phone system. This also
facilitates the wide-spread implementation of data communication applications into the system.
The implementation of the GSM standard has been an advantage to both consumers, who may
benefit from ability to roam and switch carriers without replacing phones, and also to network
operators, who can choose equipment from many GSM equipment vendors.[17]

Dept of ECE, SJCIT 18 2023-24


IOT ENABLED SURVEILLANCE AND ALERTING FOR LPG CONTAINERS

GSM also pioneered low-cost implementation of the short message service (SMS), also called
text messaging, which has since been supported on mobile phone standards as well. GSM
networks operate in a number of different carrier frequency ranges. With most 2G GSM networks
operating in the 900MHz or 800MHz bands, where these bands were already allocated, the
850MHz and 900MHzbands were used instead.in rare cases the 400 and 450MHz frequency
bands are assigned. in some countries because they were previously used for first generation
system. This allows eight full-rate or sixteen half-rate speech channels per radio frequencies.
These eight radio time slots (or eight burst periods) are grouped into TDMA frame. Half -rate
channels use alternate frames from the same timeslot. The channel data rate for all 8 channels is
270.833 kbps, and the frame duration is 4.615ms. One of the key features of GSM is the
subscriber identity module, commonly known as a SIM card. The SIM is detachable smart card
containing the user’s subscription information and phone book. This allows the user to retain.
