Biomass Storage Combustion Sensor System - Prometheus

有许多记录在案的生物质储存设施起火的事件。一旦开始，这些火灾很难管理和扑灭。它们会对人类健康和业务中断造成重大风险，并最终造成经济损失。该项目旨在表明，在大型筒仓中的木屑颗粒等生物质储存设施内，有明确的市场需求提供火灾预警。这将使人们能够采取措施去除或抑制筒仓中存在风险的特定部分，从而降低整个筒仓火灾的风险。预警将基于温度和气体混合物测量以及生物质堆内空间和时间的分析，并提供近乎真实的时间报告。该项目涵盖技术战略委员会优先领域：·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
