ABSTRACT
Most of LPG explosions are caused by undetected gas leakage in the pre-detection
condition. So that, LPG detection system is needed. The purpose of this system is to
detect gas leakage, neutralize it, and prevent the explosion. Gas leakage could happen
due to improper regulator installation or the hose is broken. This detection should not
work in just one location because gas can leak at the gas regulator and its hose.
Therefore, gas leakage detector with automatic on exhaust fan and buzzer is one of the
methods that suitable for detecting gas leakage in the wider area. This method uses gas
sensors to detect leakage in location around the gas tube. This system works based on
gas sensor MQ-2 and relay. Explosion prevention system works based on alarm/buzzer,
and exhaust fan. If the gas leaks, the sensor will send its data to transistor. Then,
explosion prevention system will be activated. The system will turn the alarm/buzzer
on, and neutralizes the air with the exhaust fan.

1. Introduction
Now a day the home safety detection system plays the important role for the security of
people. Since all the people from the home goes to work on daily bases, it makes
impossible to check on the appliances available at home specially LPG gas cylinder,
wired circuits, Etc. Since last three years there is a tremendous hike in the demands of
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas. To meet this access amount of demand
for energy and replace oil or coal due to their environmental disadvantage, LPG and
natural gas are preferred. These gases are mostly used on large scale in industry,
heating, home appliances and motor fuel. So as to track this leakage gas, the system
includes MQ2 gas sensor. This sensor senses the amount of leak gas present in the
surrounding atmosphere. Through this, explosion or getting affected by the leakage of
gas could be avoided.

2. Literature Survey
Gas leakage detection systems are crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring safety
in various settings. Gas sensors play a pivotal role in early detection, with technologies
ranging from electrochemical to semiconductor and infrared sensors. Calibration is
essential for accurate gas detection, and methods for calibration and testing contribute
to the reliability of these systems. Integrating gas sensors with electronic components,
such as transistors and diodes, enhances signal processing and protection.
Microcontroller-based systems offer programmability and flexibility, with the ability
to interface with automation components like relays, fans, and buzzers. Alternatively,
standalone gas detection modules provide simplicity and reliability, offering a viable
solution for specific applications. Compliance with safety standards and regulations is
crucial, and real-world applications across industries demonstrate the effectiveness of
gas detection systems. As technology advances, emerging trends focus on improving
detection accuracy and speed. This literature review provides insights into existing
research, technologies, and methodologies, emphasizing the need for comprehensive

6. Proposed Method
The proposed gas leakage detection and automation system integrates cutting-edge gas
sensor technology, offering an efficient solution for early gas leak detection and
automated safety measures. Utilizing a high-sensitivity gas sensor module, such as the
MQ series, the system continuously monitors air quality, generating digital signals
when gas concentrations surpass safe limits.
BC-557 PNP transistor controls a relay. This relay manages the power supply to both a
fan and a buzzer. The fan enhances ventilation to dissipate the gas, while the buzzer
provides an audible warning for immediate evacuation or precautionary measures.
To ensure the system's longevity, a diode (1N-4007) protects electronic components
from voltage spikes induced by the relay coil. The proposed system not only addresses
the critical need for early gas leak detection but also emphasizes automated responses
to mitigate risks associated with gas exposure. Its scalability, adaptability, and
integration capabilities make it suitable for deployment in diverse settings, providing a
