Waste

Innovative flame detection solutions built for the waste industry. 

Waste management facilities can be prone to costly and dangerous fire outbreaks. Intelligent visual flame detectors and multi-spectrum IR flame detectors can help waste management teams quickly identify and respond to a fire. Both detection methods are more efficient alternatives to heat and smoke detection-only systems.

 

The UK Gov Environment Agency recommends the use of CCTV visual flame detectors and multi-spectrum flame detectors at facilities where combustible waste is stored. Micropack's FDS301 and FDS300 products are both CCTV visual flame detectors, while our FDS303 is an IR3 (triple-IR) multi-spectrum flame detector.

The importance of fire safety in the Waste industry

Waste management facilities are prone to costly and dangerous fire outbreaks.

In a waste management facility, flame detection systems must operate efficiently to avoid fast-spreading fires. 
For that reason, they need to meet a number of requirements. These include:

Providing complete hazard coverage 
Every section of the waste management facility that poses a hazard risk should be within detectable range. This should cover every part of the facility where combustible material is stored.

Operating in a dirty, challenging environment
Waste management facilities are dirty and dusty, meaning airborne particles can trigger faults and false alarms. Detectors must be able to distinguish the difference between flames and dust to avoid the unnecessary and costly activation of automatic fire suppression systems.

Micropack's intelligent visual flame detectors and IR3 multi-spectrum flame detectors are optimised for performance in waste management environments.  Our systems help waste management facilities to reduce the risk of fires spreading.
