Claim 0:
1. A gas sample analysis system for analyzing and certifying a gas supplied by a gas source for breathable consumption, the system comprising:
a chassis located at a first location, the chassis having an inlet configured to receive a gas sample of the gas, the chassis having a communication controller central processing unit (CPU) configured for receiving and transmitting sensor data on a network;
an analysis module removably couplable for insertion into the chassis, the analysis module communicatively coupled to the communication controller CPU while the analysis module is coupled to the chassis, the analysis module including:
a first gas sensor and a second gas sensor in fluid communication with the inlet, the second gas sensor identical to the first gas sensor, the first gas sensor and the second gas sensor configured to receive the gas sample and transmit data signals that correlate to one or more gas concentrations of the gas sample,
a controller communicatively coupled to the first gas sensor and the second gas sensor to receive the data signals, the controller including firmware and data processing software for determining and comparing the results of the data signals, the controller configured to transmit results of the data signals as sensor data to the communication controller; and

a server computer located at a second location remote from the first location and communicatively coupled to the communication controller CPU via the network, the server computer configured to receive the sensor data from the communication controller, compare the sensor data to one or more gas purity threshold parameters, and determine if the gas supplied by the gas source passes one or more gas purity requirements for certification based on the sample gas,
wherein the analysis module is configured to power on in response to detecting activation of an air compressor associated with the gas source, the analysis module configured to detect activation of the air compressor by detecting a level of vibration or sound that exceeds a threshold level, the vibration or sound associated with activation of the air compressor, and
wherein, responsive to a determination that the gas supplied by the gas source fails one or more gas purity requirements, the server computer transmits instructions to disable the air compressor of the gas source from supplying the gas for breathable consumption.
