Hello,

I'm working in a project that consists of a new underground tunnel for mining exploration, this tunnel is 5-meter diameter and 800-meter length. Our client has requested a Gas Monitoring System for assuring the best conditions for working. The gases requested are:
- Oxigen (O2)
- Carbon Monoxide (CO)
- Carbón Dioxide (CO2)
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
- Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
- Dust concentration

I'll require your help in theses items:

1) Could you recommend any manufacturer o tecnology for these sensors that will be suitable for my application.
2) Could you recommend any text, book, paper that wil help me with the selection and location of these sensors, for my application.

Thanks a lot!

I couldn't find it on the Honeywell Analytics web site, it's a typical 3rd rate corporate web site.

But Google located it with the search term
Honeywell Analytics "Gas Book" pdf;
first hit.
It's a 6Mb download
