Pellet Production
Fire protection solutions for the pellet industry
Headlines about fires in pellet plants are unfortunately common. It is however no coincidence that the wood pellet industry is particularly exposed to fires. In a pellet manufacturing process there are several high-risk zones where fires or dust explosions can occur. Furthermore, the pellet process environment is very demanding.
This is why Firefly offers customer-adapted solutions using IR-radiation detection in combination with water spray extinguishing to achieve an efficient protection for the pellet manufacturing process.
Firefly also offers machine protection around high risk machinery through its Quick Suppression solutions. To protect the area around the mill or the pellet press, Firefly combines Quick flame detection with water mist suppression.
Power Plants
Fire protection solutions for power plants
A power plant has several high-risk areas where a fire or an explosion can occur. Common problems are hot particles and foreign objects (stones, metal pieces etc) in incoming material which can cause ignition in the process. Another common problem is friction due to for example material build-up, which can occur at several places in the process.
Firefly offers fire protection solutions for the whole process; from the dump station and the screener to the silo and the boiler.
Firefly ShredderGuard™
Frequent fires in shredders often result in production downtime and loss of revenue. A fire in a shredder can spread very quickly. Therefore, Firefly has developed Firefly ShredderGuard, a Quick Suppression System that can withstand the tough conditions in and around a shredder. The main focus of the Firefly ShredderGuard™ solution is to detect and extinguish a fire in a shredder as quickly as possible. This is why a Firefly safety system always consists of three main integrated functionalities: detection, extinguishing and control. By integrating different techniques (flame detection, True IR-detection, full-cone water spray extinguishing and water mist suppression) into one solution, Firefly provides optimal safety for the protection of shredders.
