Hello

I am looking for suggestion and information regarding gas sensor microchip
and integrated wireless transceiver. The details of gas sensors are as
follows:

1.      Gas monitoring is routinely done to check for the presence of hydro
carbon gases (LNG, LPG) in the confined spaces of vessels.  These
checks are basically done to determine the % LEL.

2.      Besides monitoring spaces for flammable gases, gas checks are also
carried out, at times, to determine toxicity (ppm) levels.      Some of the
gases,  commonly checked for, are as follows :-

        (  i)   Hydrogen Sulphide
        ( ii)   Ammonia
        (iii)   Vinyl Chloride Monomer
        (iv)    Benzene
        ( v)    Carbon Monoxide

 Gas checks for toxicity are carried out depending on the cargo
manifests.  Gas Detector tubes are normally used for such monitoring.

Who has this kind of devices or technology?

Thanks

Aiqun
