the regulator immediately and send the message to the mobile through WhatsApp. It paralley triggers
the local audio-visual alarm.
Essential findings of others in this field: several research works are found over the net. Hasibuan et
al. (2019). [1] demonstrate a project where LPG is detected using an intelligent system, and once it is
detected, it sends the notification as an SMS to the mobile. The researchers (Hussien et al. (2020). [2])
next year improve the system and make it deployable for the hospital. The researcher (Zinnuraain et
al. (2019). [3]) attached an automatic safety system to take immediate action on gas leakage in their
research work. The researcher (Keshamoni et al. (2017). [7]) included gas booking as well as detection
in their research work. They interact over the IoT for communication when the leakage happens. The
Patchmuthu et. Al. (2023). [15] notify the user in the mobile application over IoT.
What study is done in this paper: We study several research documents to understand the actual
scenario, as well as the pros and cons of designing a usable, robust, and consistent LPG detector that
can run for a long time. We realize that several factors affect the system's performance. In this paper,
we demonstrate a practical, feasible gas leakage system that accounts for several techniques to prevent
major accidents from gas leakage.
Principal conclusion: LPG is suitable for cooking. The available system suffers from several cons,
which make it an unreliable solution for LPG leakage detection incidents. A few factors demand
special attention when designing a reliable LPG detector system. The kitchen smoke and dusty and
oily environment degrade the sensor performance. Regular checks, system cleaning, and self-tests
within predefined intervals can create a reliable system. Robust protection is an excellent solution to
using LPG safely.

Figure 1 depicts the project block diagram. The central unit is the MQ-X-based LPG detector module.
It has potential free contact. When the LPG detects, the contact will close. The possible free contact
is fed to the input of the ESP module, which is the coordinate part of the complete system. When the
system is powered up, it will try to connect with a Wi-Fi router. For this, we need to provide the Wifi
credentials. Once connected, it will connect with the AWS IoT cloud server. Now, the ESP module is
ready to receive the input trigger. It stays in an infinite loop. Once the digital input senses that the gas
sensor has detected the leakage gas, the ESP module sends the event time stamp to the AWS cloud. It
instantly triggers the motor to close the LPG regulator. And finally, it sends the What’s App message
to the preset mobile number. The mobile user gets the message for the gas leakage incident in their
messaging app. Figure 2 depicts the front face of the detector device. Figure 3 depicts the components
of the LPG detector device.
Here, we provide a review and design of a sound system that can be a feasible solution in our daily
lives to avoid major accidents due to early detection of LP leaks. First, we introduce the problem
statement on the subject. In the literature review, we added a couple of research works on this field.
In the methodology, we demonstrate the architecture of the project. We added a couple of suggestions
or recommendations for the researcher. Finally, we added the reference from where we got much
information on the project field.
7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT :
First and foremost, I sincerely thank my research supervisor, Dr. P. S. Aithal, for his guidance,
supervision, encouragement, and support. I am grateful to Srinivas University for providing the
resources, facilities, and assistance to facilitate this study. I sincerely appreciate my family’s
unwavering support, understanding, and motivation during this research journey. This work would not
have been possible without the collective help and encouragement of these remarkable individuals and
institutions.
8. LIMITATIONS :
There are a few limitations present in this procedure:
In most scenarios, the sensor is placed near the LPG cylinder. This place is full of fumes, oil,
and smoke present. For the time being, the sensor became less sensitive to LPG. So, when the
system needs to detect the gas leakage, it will not be effective.
The current system is run on AC230 volts. It might create sparks when leakage happens. The
best way is to use a small potential battery.
The complete system should be encapsulated (except the sensor windows) so that it can not
create any issues when the gas reaches the Sensor window when gas starts leaking.
