There have been many recorded incidents of fires starting in biomass storage facilities. Oncestarted, these fires are difficult to manage and extinguish. They result in significant risk tohuman health and business interruption and ultimately financial loss.This project aims to show that there is a clear market need to provide early warning of a firestarting inside a biomass storage facility such as wood pellets in a large silo. This will enablemeasures to be taken to remove or damp-down the specific part of the silo contents at risk,thus reducing the risk of a whole silo fire.The early warning will be based on temperature and gas mixture measurement and profiling inspace and time, within the biomass pile, with near real time reporting.This project spans the Technology Strategy Board Priority Areas:• Resource efficiency• Energy• Electronics, sensors and photonics
