Where is the hazard?
Modern production systems, buildings, closed and open storage areas, warehousing, transport systems, etc. all represent a potential hazard area, either in terms of self-ignition in materials, ignition sources such as overheating or sparks, or melting damage and wear.
Examples of areas with fire, explosion or melting hazards where thermal monitoring can be used to optimise safety are:
- Storage of highly flammable materials such as oil or chemicals
- Closed production, transport and storage systems that cannot be monitored with the naked eye or via smoke monitors
- Flares on drilling platforms and at chemical and petrochemical plants
- Gas generators
- Warehouses, storage depots and open-air storage areas where materials with a risk of spontaneous self-ignition are stored, e.g. waste stores, paper stores and fuel depots
- Train or car tunnels
- Transformer plants
- Monitoring systems for casting ladles and trolleys in the metal industry
- Monitoring of vital containers/vessels to detect hot spots and weak points
- Leak detection in pipelines and machine parts
- Monitoring of production lines
- Access control systems.
