ACKNOWLEDGMENT
In the name of Allah Al-Mighty, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful, Who has
given us the knowledge, strength and ability to complete this project.
We feel honored in expressing our deep and sincere gratitude to our supervisor Engr.
Amna Riaz for her commendable efforts, invaluable guidance, continuous
encouragement and support in making this project possible. We really appreciate her
services from the initial to the final level that enabled us to transform theoretical facts
and ideas into an organized working project. Surely, without her advice and assistance
the target would not have been achieved.
We acknowledge our heart-felt indebtedness and gratefulness to Engr. Muhammad
Adil Bashir who developed our vivid concepts about embedded systems, polished our
practical skills and equipped us with knowledge and techniques to troubleshoot our
project. We also offer special thanks to Engr. Sohail Afzal who broadened our vision
by giving us valuable suggestions in improving our project.
Our sincere thanks goes to all worthy lecturers of Electrical Engineering Department,
UCE&T,B.Z.U, Multan who imparted us useful knowledge and made our academic
journey at UCE&T pleasant and unforgettable.
Our appreciation and gratitude goes to our parents for their prayers, moral support and
motivation not only during this project but throughout our lives. There are no suitable
words which could truly convey our thanks to them.
Lastly we would like to extend our thanks to all those who contributed to our final
year project directly or indirectly and helped in its successful completion.

ABSTRACT
The aim and objective behind developing this project is to design and
implement an efficient LPG detection system using a gas sensor, microcontroller and
GSM module. The project ensures human life safety and prevents hazards by
performing different actions based on the concentration of LPG being leaked. On
lower concentration leakage, only the LED is turned on. Further increase in leakage
leads to the activation of buzzer to alert the people around to leave the place.
If the leakage concentration continues to increase even more, then exhaust fan is
turned on to reduce the concentration of LPG in the area it leaked. An alert SMS is
sent to the mobile of the person in charge of the system and the valve of the LPG is
closed automatically to prevent any further leakage. The project employs MQ-5
sensor which not only senses LPG but other gases like CNG, iso-butane and even
cigarette smoke. The microcontroller used is ATMEGA-16 that provides fast
instruction execution. The project is cost effective, portable and can be set up
anywhere where it is required to monitor LPG leakage.
