High Performance Industrial Flame Detection

Optical flame detection has progressed to meet the ever-growing demands for maximum reliability, availability and minimal false alarm events and is widely employed in many high risk industries, such as those in oil & gas (onshore & offshore), petrochemicals, hazardous material handling and storage, etc., to protect both high-value plant and personnel.

Flame Detectors are the favored solution for high risk areas and outdoors where smoke and heat detectors are not effective. Unlike smoke and heat detectors, the fire/products of fire (smoke/heat) do not have to reach

the optical detector to be recognised as it can ‘see’ the fire (flame) radiation from distances up to 65 meters, within a 100º ‘cone of vision’ in all directions – and raise an alarm within 5 seconds. Detection is taken to the fire

rather than waiting for the fire to reach the detector.

Optical flame detectors provide the fastest detection of a fuel fire in the early ignition stage. This capability, adjustable field of view and programmability make them extremely well-suited for this critical duty
