Abstract

The environmental pollution is a serious problem, which is caused due to the leakage of toxic gasses at the time of transportation, storage, and during industrial processes of these gases. In industry, different types of hazardous gases are processed, stored, and transported through pipeline. The leakage of such pipeline occurs at any catastrophic accident, which may cause danger to the society as well as the environment. The gas pipeline may spread wide within the industry. Considering such facts, it is proposed to develop Wireless Sensor Network to detect, monitor, and control the leakage of gases. The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a challenging technology in the field of Industrial sectors. Recently, it is used to monitor agricultural, industrial, environmental, and medical parameters. WSN is the network of systematically distributed sensor nodes to collaboratively collect information from physical world. The present research work is carried out to detect, monitor, and control the hazardous gas Hydrogen Sulfide in industrial transportation system, to avoid catastrophic accidents as well as to reduce the effect on environment. For this purpose, sensor nodes are wired about advanced PIC 18F4550 microcontroller along with sensing and signal conditioning capabilities. The IEEE 802.15.4 slandered based ZigBee device is deployed for wireless communication. On the other hand, the control action is carried out through Coordinator Node, which is capable with electromechanical action to close the main valve of the gas source.
