Design and Implementation of an IOT Gas Pipeline Monitoring and Gas Detection BOT

Abstract

Industries play a crucial role in modern economies by providing essential energy products, supporting Gas pipeline leaks are a serious safety and environmental concern, especially in areas with industrial activity or dense populations. Even small leaks can lead to significant financial losses, fire hazards, and long-term environmental damage. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), which contain highly combustible components such as propane and butane, are particularly dangerous, as exposure to air or sparks can trigger fires or explosions. This study presents the design and implementation of an IoT-based gas pipeline monitoring and leak detection bot, capable of measuring gas concentration in real time and sending alerts before dangerous levels are reached. The system combines sensitive gas sensors with IoT-enabled data collection and communication, allowing continuous monitoring of pipelines and immediate reporting to a centralized dashboard. To test its performance, experiments were conducted in both enclosed and open environments. Results showed that gas concentration levels were higher in enclosed spaces, confirming the system's sensitivity and ability to detect hazardous conditions effectively. The data were plotted over time, showing clear trends and demonstrating the bot's reliability in different scenarios. By providing real-time monitoring and early warnings, the system allows quick intervention to prevent accidents, reduce losses, and protect the environment. This work offers a practical, scalable, and low-cost solution for enhancing the safety of gas pipelines, combining modern IoT technology with automated detection to minimize the risks associated with gas leaks.
