Biomass Facilities are Finding Ways to Mitigate Fires
Biomass Power Generation facilities are finding ways to mitigate and prevent fire damage. Unfortunately, detecting early-stage fire formation within a biomass bulk pile is difficult. Therefore facilities are resorting to implementing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with early fire detection technologies, like infrared (IR) cameras. IR camera systems are the first to alert before a fire develops. They see a warming-up of material early in the fire development process before forming smoke particles or flames. Fire safety is an area that can realize the benefits of IIoT when combined with infrared camera systems. By connecting sensors that alert at different stages of fire development and varying conditions for fire formation, potential fires can more readily be detected and prevented.
