ABSTRACT
• This paper presents an innovative LPG leakage detection system designed to enhance
safety in residential and industrial environments. The system integrates three primary
components: the Arduino Uno for data processing, the ESP32 WiFi module for wireless
communication, and the Flutter framework for developing a user-friendly mobile interface.
The Arduino Uno, equipped with gas sensors, continuously monitors the environment for
potential gas leaks. Upon detecting a leak, it communicates the data to the ESP32 WiFi
module, which then transmits the information to a cloud-based server. The Flutter-based
mobile application allows users to receive real-time alerts and monitor the status of their LPG
system remotely. This seamless integration of hardware and software components provides
an efficient and effective solution for proactive gas leak detection and prevention, thereby
reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall safety.
INTRODUCTION
 Significance of Advanced LPG Gas Leakage Detection:
Effective gas leakage management is crucial for ensuring safety and preventing accidents.
 Challenges with Traditional Methods:

Traditional methods rely on manual inspection and basic detectors, which are often time-
consuming, costly, and prone to inaccuracies.
 Need for Timely Detection:

Early and accurate detection of LPG gas leaks is essential to prevent potential hazards
and reduce the risk of explosions.
 Role of Modern Technologies:

Advances in microcontrollers, WiFi modules, and mobile applications provide new

opportunities for enhancing LPG gas leakage detection.
 Project Overview:
• In this presentation, we explore Advanced LPG Gas Leakage Detection using a

combination of Arduino Uno, ESP32 WiFi Module, and Flutter.

• This integration allows for real-time monitoring of gas levels, enhancing safety and

responsiveness in environments where LPG is used.2

Methodology:
 Data Acquisition and Wireless Communication:
• Use gas sensors with the Arduino Uno to continuously monitor LPG levels and preprocess the data for
noise reduction.
• Transmit processed data wirelessly to a cloud-based server using the ESP32 WiFi module for remote
monitoring.

 Mobile Application Development:

• Develop a user-friendly mobile interface with the Flutter framework.
• Implement real-time alerts and remote monitoring features to allow users to track LPG levels and
receive notifications.
 MOTIVATION
The increasing reliance on LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) in both residential and industrial
settings has heightened the need for effective safety measures to prevent hazardous leaks.
Traditional methods of detecting LPG leaks often rely on manual inspections and delayed
responses, which can lead to catastrophic accidents, property damage, and even loss of life.

1. Ensuring Safety and Peace of Mind:

A key motivation behind this project is to enhance safety and provide peace of mind to users by
offering a reliable, real-time LPG leak detection system. The integration of advanced technologies
such as the Arduino Uno, ESP32 WiFi module, and the Flutter framework for a mobile interface
ensures that leaks are detected promptly, and alerts are sent immediately, allowing users to take
swift action.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
 Hardware Integration:

Utilize the Arduino Uno as the primary microcontroller for processing data from gas sensors.
Implement the ESP32 WiFi module for wireless communication, enabling real-time data
transmission to a cloud-based server.
Select and calibrate appropriate gas sensors to accurately detect LPG concentrations.
 Software Development:

Develop a robust firmware for the Arduino Uno to handle data acquisition, preprocessing, and
communication with the ESP32 WiFi module.
Create a mobile application using the Flutter framework that offers a user-friendly interface for
real-time monitoring and alerts.
Implement backend services to handle data storage, processing, and alert management on
the cloud server.
MOTIVATION
2. Technological Innovation and Accessibility:
This project leverages cutting-edge technology to create a user-friendly and accessible solution. By
automating the detection process and providing real-time notifications, we reduce the
dependency on human intervention and expert knowledge, making safety measures more
effective and widespread.

3. Environmental and Economic Impact:

Preventing LPG leaks not only safeguards human lives but also has significant environmental and
economic benefits. Efficient leak detection reduces the wastage of valuable resources and
minimizes the environmental impact of gas emissions. Moreover, early detection and timely
interventions can prevent costly repairs and downtime, offering economic savings.
 INNOVATION IDEA OF THE PROJECT

The innovation in this LPG leakage detection project lies in the seamless integration of
hardware and software components to create an efficient, real-time monitoring system.
This project combines the strengths of the Arduino Uno, ESP32 WiFi module, and the
Flutter framework to address the critical need for reliable and prompt LPG leak
detection.
Key innovative aspects include:
Real-Time Detection and Alerts:
▪ The use of gas sensors with the Arduino Uno enables continuous monitoring of
LPG levels, ensuring that any leak is detected as soon as it occurs. The real-time
nature of this system significantly reduces response times, thereby preventing
potential hazards.
 INNOVATION IDEA OF THE PROJECT

Wireless Communication for Remote Monitoring:

The ESP32 WiFi module facilitates wireless data transmission from the Arduino to
a cloud-based server, allowing for remote monitoring of LPG levels. This wireless
communication capability eliminates the need for physical presence, providing
convenience and enhancing safety.
User-Friendly Mobile Interface:
Leveraging the Flutter framework, a cross-platform mobile application is developed
to provide users with a seamless and intuitive interface. The app delivers real-time
alerts and allows users to monitor the status of their LPG systems from anywhere,
ensuring they are always informed and can act quickly in case of a leak
 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
▪ Enhancing Safety: The foremost purpose is to safeguard lives and property by providing an
effective and reliable solution for detecting LPG leaks. Early detection and timely alerts
allow for swift action to be taken, significantly reducing the risk of explosions, fires, and
other hazards associated with LPG leaks.

▪ Promoting Sustainable Practices: The project aims to support sustainable and

environmentally friendly practices by preventing gas wastage and reducing harmful
emissions. Efficient leak detection minimizes the environmental impact and contributes to
overall sustainability.

▪ Increasing Accessibility to Safety Solutions: The project seeks to make advanced safety
solutions accessible to a wider audience. By using affordable and widely available
components such as the Arduino Uno and ESP32 WiFi module, and developing a user-
friendly mobile application with the Flutter framework, the system is designed to be easily
adopted by households and businesses alike.
