Abstract
This paper proposes a low cost high sensitive approach to monitor the leakage of ethanol vapour in ethanol production industries. Our approach is based on the development of low cost sensor nodes for real time and outside pipe monitoring. The main sensor nodes consist of catalytic metal Pd and Pt modified WO3 based sensors integrated with RFID tags. The emphasis is given on low cost, light weight operation and real time reliable long time operation. The RFID reader connected with base monitoring station can easily detect the leakage at an early stage with very low leakage concentration 0.05–0.5% of ethanol. The experimental result demonstrate that this system satisfies the real-time, low cost and accurate detection criteria of an ideal early warning system.
