Real-Time Design of HMI for Hazardous Gas Control and Monitoring System in Pakistani Mines, Natural Gas Areas and Fertilizer Plants

Abstract

Gas leakage is a serious issue in commercial areas (fertilizer plants/mines) and domestic buildings and a major cause of concern in bistros, populated neighborhoods, and automobiles that operate upon compressed natural gas (CNG). Because of the increased gas leaks, residential safety has been a serious concern in recent years. Hazardous gases such as propane and methane are flammable, and if contained in close proximity might trigger explosions Installing gas monitoring systems in sensitive areas is one of the preventative techniques for eliminating fatalities caused by gas leakage. The technique presented in this paper includes the identification and reporting of dangerous gases in a region by designing a Gas control and monitoring system (GCMS) that can automatically detect, alert and control hazardous gas leakage. It is quite easy to handle as users will only have to press buttons at the designed HMI (Human machine interface).
