Biomass power plants generate power from biomass fuels such as wood pellets, sugarcane bagasse and manure. These fuels are susceptible to spontaneous combustion, which can occur at any stage of storage, production or transport. Early fire detection is important for safety control at the plant.

Monitoring industrial boilers is also important to oversee their performance and improve their efficiency. It is essential to measure the temperature inside the boiler and monitor combustion in an industrial boiler to prevent damage to the refractory and boiler tubes, as well as unnecessary fuel consumption.
VisionTIR offers different solutions for early fire detection and to optimise your boiler operation.
BOILER MONITORING
Temperature monitoring and combustion control in an industrial boiler are essential. Our ProTIR system provides accurate temperature monitoring to prevent fouling or damage to boiler tubes or refractories, as well as unnecessary fuel consumption in an industrial boiler.
STORAGE SILOS
Biomass fuels are stored in large piles or silos, which poses a fire risk due to spontaneous heating and combustion. The FireTIR system is a flexible solution based on radiometric infrared cameras for early detection of fires and hot spots.
CONVEYOR BELTS
Biomass fuels are moved from the storage pile or silo to a conveyor belt where spontaneous heating may occur. Our FireTIR system can detect hot spots quickly before a fire breaks out at the plant.
