Development of leakage detection system

Leakage in a system makes resource losses occur at thermal power plants, water distribution systems, overhead tanks, boilers etc. Leakage can occur due to ageing infrastructure and environmental conditions, which should be detected. Due to these losses it is required to develop a system which can detect leakage in water, gas, oil etc. This paper presents a wireless leakage detection system using various sensors and microcontroller which makes system portable and Non-Destructive techniques (NDT). In this system the parameters like humidity, temperature, pressure, sound detection and gas detection around leakage areas are detected using sensors and arduino microcontroller. The sensed data is acquired and transmitted via ZigBee and processed over GUI developed in LabVIEW transferred to a webpage.
