Abstract:

 Pipelines mainly used for distribution and transportation of petroleum, natural gas, water, and sewage within a facility and between long distances. Damage to pipelines will pose great threat to people, environment and industry. This is why the careful monitoring and control of pipeline systems is essential. Leaks and cracks cause millions of losses in spill control, repair and accidents. Here we have attempted to develop a new system for pipeline monitoring and control. It utilizes a mobile application and a wireless network of monitoring elements and isolation valves. The mobile application receives alerts from time to time whenever a leak is observed and can be used to remotely shut off valves corresponding to that location. It involves the use of a programmable microcontroller, Solenoid valve, GSM modules, Zigbee PRO modules and a resistor based detection system. The system was coded using AVR Studio and mobile application developed in Android Studio with the help of JAVA.

Keywords:
