Abstract:
This paper presents report of a design work on petroleum leakage detection
system. It is a system that is designed to monitor seepage of petroleum
products across pipeline installations. The design work which was simulat
ed on a PROTEUS software, consists of a gas detecting sensor (GH-312),
an 8-bit (AT89C51) Microcontroller, an alarm system and a remote PC. It
was implemented as a laboratory prototype to sense seepages, generate an
alarm and also send an alert message to a PC at remote location. Testing of
the prototype was carried out in the laboratory using methane gas which is a
component gas contained in petroleum products. Result shows an actuated
alarm (upon the release of gas from test tube) and an instant alert message
on the PC.
