A Smart Natural Gas Leakage Detection and Control System for Gas Distribution Companies of Bangladesh using IoT

Abstract

This paper proposes a smart mobile based model of gas leakage detection and control for gas distribution system of Bangladesh using IoT, called as smart natural gas leakage detection and control system (SNLDCS). The proposed SNLDCS has been implemented in both software and hardware modules. The existing researches are about Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) leakage detection that are used for cylinder gas. Therefore, these models are not suitable for gas distributions companies of Bangladesh where natural gas leakage is being controlled from remote places. But the proposed model can quickly detect natural gas leakage by continuous monitoring and can control gas leakage by a smart phone from anywhere. The experimental results confirm that, implementation of SNLDCS model in gas distribution system in Bangladesh can provide the quickest detection and rapid resolve of gas leakage. As a result, it will increase safety, decreases system loss and reduces Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission in the air.
