This project is aimed to develop an automated system in industries that sounds a local alarm and sends information through several mediums including logging the complaint on an online server at remote location that can be accessed anywhere through devices which are connected to the internet to overcome the issues faced in the past so that the accidents which can be caused by the leakages of the gas can be lessened. The accidents in the industries due to these leakages lead to threatening

... s as in past happened at the Union Carbide plant, Bhopal. So, these lead me to believe that preventive automated measures should be put in place along with human measures, as cost of human error or machine failure are very high to fathom. So to operationalize this idea, I used several gas sensor circuitries which shall be installed at all the zones present at oil sector industries, these shall sense the gas concentration values at those zones and accordingly perform functions given in form of instructions to the system. Everything shall be automated such that there is no chance of carelessness leading to severe damage. Also at various zones we shall install sprinkler systems containing CO 2 and/or water at the top and adjacent places, such that if case of any leakage, the sprinklers shall sprinkle CO 2 / Cold Water so as to lower the temperature of the zone to decrease the chances of fire at that location or decrease intensity of fire, in case it happens. We have thereby reduced the human involvement in the system but human intervention has not been done away with. This system hopes to complement efforts of man with that of machine and vice versa.
