A SECURITY MECHANISM FOR OIL PILFERAGE AND LEAKAGE DETECTION BY LASER USING IOT

Abstract: - A System has been designing a security mechanism for the oil pilferage and leakage Detection. Pipelines are widely used for transportation of oil over millions of miles throughout the world. In this project we are using a Double wall pipeline made up of carbon steel. Pipelines are designed to withstand several environmental conditions to ensure safe and reliable transmission of oil from point of production to the distributor. there are some major causes of innumerable losses in pipeline due to natural calamities and manmade reasons. This incident results in series ecological disasters, agriculture lands and disturbance to humans with also financial losses. To prevent such menace and ensure safe and reliable oil transmission efforts have been devoted to implement A security Mechanism for oil pilferage and leakage detection in pipelines. There will be a LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) at one end of the outer pipe and the laser circuit at another end of the pipe. Laser rays of low intensity will be passed through every 15 minutes from one end to another end of outer pipe. These laser rays are received at LDR. So, if there exists some obstacle in the way of laser rays it will reflect back the LDR responses the admin system with buzzer and we get to know that there is some fault in the pipeline. Now, in case of leakage if the beam passes through a drop of Oil, then the intensity of light gets slightly changed that changes will be detected by the LDR.
