The Hidden Risk Inside Every Fuel Pile
At a renewable energy facility, large piles of biomass fuel stored for combustion created a constant fire hazard. Spontaneous heating and smoldering could occur deep inside the piles, invisible to the human eye. Routine patrols and fire watches were labor intensive, inconsistent, and often caught the problem too late. The facility was looking for a reliable biomass fire prevention system that could monitor conditions around the clock and detect rising temperatures before a fire could start.
From Manned Watch to 24/7 Protection
Before iTL, the facility depended on a manned fire watch to keep an eye on the fuel piles. Now, the system does it automatically. The iTL platform runs day and night, watching for changes in temperature and alerting the team before anything gets out of hand. Because it connects to their existing water cannons, fires are stopped before they can even start. What was once a stressful, round-the-clock job is now handled with confidence.
What They Experienced
“Since we’ve implemented moviTHERM’s system, it’s been night and day. The ability to track and monitor has given us peace of mind. We can handle problems before they escalate, and it’s made our operations run much more smoothly.”
