IoT Device For Sewage Gas Monitoring And Alert System

This project aims at providing smart solutions to monitor poisonous sewage gases and works on a system of live sewage level detection and monitoring. Whenever, a certain threshold is crossed, an alert is sent to the observer who is examining the conditions from a remote location. The information is then forwarded along with different gas ppm values indicating whether it is safe for the worker to clean or work in that environment or not. The remotely placed IoT monitoring equipment and IoT platform are integrated to create proposed system. This requires calibration of gas sensors for industrial purposes and determining the correct threshold levels for septic plants and facilities. The hardware is designed such that it shall send a prior alert to the sewage worker to ensure their safety, if damaging gaseous constituents increase in concentration over time. Various types of sensors are utilized to monitor parameters present in sewage like gas, temperature etc. When the threshold value is lesser than the sensed values, this system alerts the sewage worker/cleaner by sending SMS and call alerts by analyzing concentrations of different toxic gases and graphing out their results for real-time monitoring thereby aiding in protection from hazardous diseases and hence serves a social cause as well. In the proposed system, sample values for sensors have been recorded and plotted on ThingSpeak analysis tool. Carbon monoxide and methane sensors charted values up-to 2.3 and 60 ppm respectively, and this breached threshold and GSM module was utilized for sending alert to mobile number fed in the code.
