Biomass Storage Combustion Sensor System - Prometheus

有记录的生物质储存设施起火事件很多。一旦开始，这些大火很难管理和扑灭。它们会对人类健康造成重大风险，导致商业中断，并最终造成经济损失。该项目旨在表明，显然有市场需要在生物质储存设施内提供起火预警，例如大型筒仓中的木质颗粒。这将使得能够采取措施来移除或抑制筒仓内容物的特定危险部分，从而降低整个筒仓起火的风险。预警将基于温度和气体混合物的测量以及生物质堆内的空间和时间概况，并近乎实时地报告。该项目跨越技术战略委员会的优先领域：·资源效率·能源·电子、传感器和光子学

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
