In rural areas, gobar gas also known as Biogas is a clean, non-polluting, and cost-effective source of energy. It is made up of inflammable methane in the proportions of 60-75 percent. A biogas plant, also known as a gobar gas plant, uses a digestion process to manufacture biogas from cattle manure. There is a need to deploy a smart monitoring system which can monitor temperature, humidity, gas pressure. A camera should also be attached with this device to monitor the surrounding activity.
Discloses a smart gobar gas or biogas monitoring system comprises Computing Unit (11), DHT 11 Sensor (12), Gas Pressure Sensor (13), Camera (14), Display Matrix (15), Wifi Modem (16), Power Supply (17), Sound Alert (18). wherein said monitoring and alert system is consisting of a central computing unit which is connected to the DHT 11 sensor to detect the temperature and humidity of the place, a gas pressure sensor to check the pressure of the gas, a camera for surrounding activities vision, a display screen to display the output, a wi-fi modem to data transfer, a sound speaker to produce the alert sound and a power supply battery.
The computing unit takes receives the temperature and humidity detected by DHT 11 sensor, gas pressure receives from the gas pressure sensor, surrounding vision-based activities receives from the integrated camera then display these inputs through an integrated display unit and transfer their data inputs to the cloud server with the help of a wi-fi modem.
Once data is stored or transferred in the cloud server, a mobile or web application is used to access that data for monitoring. A sound alert generates through the web or mobile applications to protect the plant from hazardous activities. The plant monitoring record analyzes the weekly basis and monthly basis with the help of mobile or web applications. The system sends an SMS or popup alert to the application once the temperature crosses its upper limit so the user can take necessary action.
