Innovative technology for battery detection to reduce fires in recycling facilities

该项目将评估在废物收集和回收行业中检测电池的新方法。电池在包括MRF， PRF和再处理器在内的回收工厂中引起大量火灾，因此检测和移除电池对于确保回收过程高效安全运行非常重要。设施在深达40厘米的物质流中运行，因此需要穿透成像来看到地表下的物质。

This project will assess novel methods for detecting batteries in the waste collection and recycling industry. Batteries cause a large number of fires in recycling plants including MRF's, PRF's and reprocessors, hence detecting and removing batteries is important to ensure the recycling process runs efficiently and safely. Facilities operate with deep flows of material up to 40cm deep and hence penetrative imaging is required to see materials beneath the surface.
