ABSTRACT
Nowadays the technology is rapidly growing, and human life is becoming easier than the
past. In our country maximum number of people is using LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas)
in several places like houses, shops and in many industries. To assemble of LPG is too
diminutive. But it is very dicult to the illiterate people to understand and many of the
people in our society is busy with their works, so that they can’t know the status of the gas
and if the booking of the LPG gets delay then it will be uncomfortable to the people. In
order to overcome this problem, Intelligent Gas booking and Leakage Detection System
(IGLS) is proposed. When the LPG gas gets minimum weight then GSM drive the memo
to the owner and warns about the LPG gas is getting over, so that the owner tries to book
the LPG in advance. Huge numbers of people are facing the gas leakage problem. In order
to avoid this drawback, a gas sensor is utilized to sense the gas outow and switch ON the
buzzer and sends a message of outow of the gas to warn the owner. Proposed system will
be benetted for society.

1. INTRODUCTION
LPG is known as Liquid Petroleum Gas. In Arpitha, Kiran, Gupta, and Duraiswamy
(2016) consists of saturated propane and saturated butane mixture as well as unsaturated
hydrocarbons. In LPG, Ethanethiol is added (Macker, Shukla, Dey, & Agarwal, 2018). So
that it becomes odourless gas, which will easily detect leakage of gas. In our country (Varma,
Prabhakar, & Jayavel, 2017) there are approximately 40 crore people are using LPG which
is nearly 45% of our population. In Shinde, Patil, and Patil (2012), and Mahalingam,
Naayagi, and Mastorakis (2012), LPG gas, which is commercially used in domestic area for
heating, cooking, shops and industrial purpose, etc., LPG has highly ammable because of
the mixture of propane and butane. In Priya, Surekha, Preethi, Devika, and Dhivya (2014)
a cylinder is to be found that it is loaded, which will measure the weight of the cylinder. In
Ramya and Palaniappan (2012) inserted a minimum weight of the cylinder according to
the level of a gas.
2. RELATED WORK
In Shyamaladevi, Rajaramya, Rajasekar, and Ashok (2014) proposed a structure that
will make the whole LPG compartment booking system robotized was excluded human
intervention. This framework ceaselessly decides the greatness of the chamber drive notice
to the insisted LPG agent with the target that they can pass on the LPG chamber in time.
In Cheung, Lin, and Lin (2018) consolidates WSN into an astounding structure which
enables the structure site to ostensibly screen the prosperity status by methods for a spatial,
concealed interface and empty any perilous gas normally. In Dewi and Somantri (2018)
were proposed the inspiration driving this structure is to recognize gas spillage, murder
it, and thwart the impact. WSN framework works were reliant on gas sensor MQ-6 and
remote module Bluetooth HC-05. Impact neutralizing activity system works reliant on the
alarm/ringer, exhaust fan, and customized gas controller.
In Hema, Murugan, and Chitra (2013) the light was unmistakable tangibility and common
connements of dierent gas identifying developments, experts have been managing
dierent circumstances with overhauled frameworks. In this, they were analyzed the
overview of progressed enhancement in leakage of gas recognizing. In Kalaivanan and

Manoharan (2016) were the essential objectives of the endeavor is to gather a Gas spillage
discoverer using LPG gas sensor and furthermore it was interface with IoT using ESP
module for security. A solenoid is set such a way, that at whatever point there is a sign, it will
close the pipe to stop the movement of gas.
In Padmapriya and Kamini (2013) the structure also is used for other application in the
business or plant that depends upon LPG and vaporous oil in their action this endeavor is
used to screen relentless load of the LPG chamber. In our country customarily that people
don’t know decisively the status of the chamber and there is a deferment in lighting up gas
oce. To keep far from such conditions have completed the endeavor called “Customized
Gas Booking Using Embedded System with Safety Guards”. In this endeavor used weight
cell as a weight sensor. MQ6 as an LPG spillage sensor which will recognize the spillage of
LPG and oers security to people. The gas oce gets the solicitation of new chamber and
owner got the messages regarding the status. In paper (Apeh, Erameh, & Iruansi, 2014)
were smoke sensor was used to recognize gas spillage in the home. In case any gas spillage
recognized subsequently, it will send SMS to the re station. GSM is a champion among the
most cell frameworks used in India. In our endeavor, we have used weight cell to screen the
hold up of the LPG gas routinely. In Bangali and Shaligram (2013) proposes the Internet of
Things is considered as the third surge of information development straightforwardly after
Internet and exible correspondence sort out, which is depicted by progressively complete
interoperability and learning. By this creative progress, it engages us to screen the activities
through our propelled cell phones, to share information.
In Potadar, Salvi, Sathe, and Chavan (2015) proposes the system will recognize the spillage
and exhort the client about the gas spillage by SMS Audio yield is moreover made on
speaker. As a bit of emergency, the system will immediately temperament executioner
the control valve with the help of stepper motor to evade a mishap. The additional good
position of the system is that it constantly screens the component of the LPG present in the
chamber using load cell and demonstrate the weight always. The programmed gas booking
framework will really discard call stopping or dialing such countless numbers while booking
the gas chamber.

In Ravichandran (2017) were LPG will nish without instructing us it can make an
inconvenient condition for cooking, etc. Our arrangement relies upon ARM controller, it
can pursue LPG void continually in case LPG is close culmination or at void measurement,
by then, it can alert us by sending SMS to LPG Agency for mentioning the LPG chamber.
In Imade, Rajmanes, Gavali, and Nayakwadi (2018) were analyzed, the fundamental stress
of any assignment has not been left impeccable by IoT. In Khan, Prince, Dewangan, and
Rathore (2014), Gas Leakages in open or shut districts can show to be dangerous and
savage. The customary Gas Leakage Detector Systems have various phenomenal precision;
disregard to perceive two or three segments in the eld of disturbing the all-inclusive
community about the spillage. In Jolhe, Potdukhe, and Gawai (2013) in the unlikely event
that LPG is going to complete without teaching us, it can make an irksome condition
for cooking, etc. Our structure relies upon the microcontroller, it can pursue LPG void
continually in case LPG is especially near completion or at void measurement, by then it
can alert us by sending SMS to the owner and it can in like manner move the message to
LPG Agency for mentioning the LPG chamber.
3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
3.1. INTELLIGENT GAS BOOKING AND LEAKAGE DETECTION SYSTEM
(IGLS)
Gas leakage means if the gas is transferred from one pipe to another pipe or other container
of natural gas or another gas product may not be present. Leaks are very dangerous because
a small leak can gradually produce an explosive concentration of gas. This is the main
drawback of traditional gas leakage system. In order to overcome the above problem, this
work proposes Intelligent Gas booking and Leakage Detection System (IGLS).
When the LPG gets to the base weight, the GSM sends the message to the proprietor by
the assistance of Arduino. Arduino is accustomed to sending the message to the client
with the assistance of GSM. The LCD shows the heaviness of the chamber consistently.
This program is created to send the message through GSM to the given number of the
client. The gas sensor MQ6 to detect the gas around the place, after that microcontroller
automatically switch ON the signal and sends the message to the proprietor.

5. WORKING PRINCIPLE
The working standard of this system has appeared in the square outline in Figure 1. The
Arduino board is assuming an indispensable job which is utilized to quantify the parameters
of gas and weight. Every one of the parts is associated with the Arduino board. Arduino
gets the messages to the purchaser about the gas chamber like gas spillage and gas weight
of the chamber. At the point when the gas is spilling from the gas chamber, the gas sensor
will detect the gas spillage and after that sends the data to the Arduino then the Arduino
will check the code and sends the data to the GSM module and ringer. The GSM module
will send the short message too private the client to realize the gas is spilling and the ringer
will make the noisy sound that underwear that gas is spilling. This work will screen with
the assistance of GSM ceaselessly if the gas weight is low as for the given load in the code.
The gas weight is recognized by the heap cell. The heap cell checks the heaviness of the
chamber if the heaviness of the chamber is lower than the given code it will send the data
to the Arduino board. It will give the direction to the GSM module to send the message
to the customer that the gas weight is low and it starts the client to book the gas chamber.
By utilizing the LCD show the weight and the gas spillage estimations of the chamber are
shown routinely.

6. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Intelligent Gas booking and Leakage Detection System is implemented in real time. The
gas weight and the gas spillage are estimated by utilizing IGLS, the estimated gas values are
showed in the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The gas present in the room air before the
gas spillage having the level is 0 ppm, which was appeared in the LCD. When the gas was
spilled from the gas chamber the gas sensor will detect the gas in the room air. The GSM
module will send the message to the individual proprietor of the user where the portable
number was in the GSM module and sends the message “GAS WAS LEAKING”. On and
o messages send to the controller when the gas was not spilling from the gas chamber.
Burden cell will detect the heaviness of the gas chamber. On and o message shows that
the heaviness of the chamber is not exactly the edge weight, at that point, it will send the
message to the user that the “GAS CYLINDER WEIGHT IS LOW BOOK THE GAS
CYLINDER” was sent to the versatile number present in the GSM module. This system
will be benet able for society.
