Bio Energy – Pellet Production and Bio Gas Plants

As the Bioenergy industry grows, so do its fire problems. There are several high-risk zones in which fires or dust explosions may arise in pellet production and in power plants. There is also a need to utilise the Biogas from Poultry and Pig Farms, correct measurement of the digester gas is essential for efficient use of this energy.

Pellet Production

Headlines about fires in pellet plants are unfortunately common. It is however no coincidence that the wood pellet industry is particularly exposed to fires. In a pellet manufacturing process there are several high-risk zones where fires or dust explosions can occur. Furthermore, the pellet process environment is very demanding.

Firefly Wood Pellet Protection — Wood Pellet Protection

As the bioenergy industry grows, so do its fire problems. There are several high-risk zones in which fires or dust explosions may arise, both in pellet production and in power plants. Firefly has many Spark Detection and Quick Suppression solutions for pellet production and power plants.

Filter and Silo Protection

Detecting the right hot particles is critical when it comes to protecting Filters and Silos. You need to detect down to the right ignition temperatures to ensure your plant is protected.

Conveyor Protection

Because a fire in a belt conveyor can spread very rapidly, a fast acting fire protection system that also can withstand the tough conditions in and around a belt conveyor is required

Firefly Conveyor Solutions — Conveyor Solutions

FIRE PROTECTION OF CONVEYORS

A fire in a belt conveyor is often hard to extinguish and can spread very quickly. In worst case it can spread to surrounding material stacks and could last for weeks, causing major loss of revenue and production downtime.

The purpose of the Firefly ConveyorGuardTM-solution is to automatically detect and suppress a fire at an early stage and to stop the conveyor belt as quickly as possible. The Firefly ConveyorGuardTM-solution can be complemented with Firefly open area flame detectors and/or LTS cable

ProDetec Calibration and Test Gas Gas Recycling Program — Gas Recycling Program

Once the calibration gas cylinders are relieved of pressure they are NOT considered hazardous material or waste. Nearly all of our mixtures contain only a very small amount of a hazardous chemical(s) as a minor component in the gas mixture requested. The fact that it is such a small amount (usually in the ppm range) always precludes the gas mixture from ever being classified as hazardous.

Our calibration gas cylinder recycling program is an environmentally-friendly way to reduce waste caused by empty cylinders. We offer a free, easy way to return used cylinders for future use.

Bio Gas Energy

Digester gas, a term with a somewhat negative connotation, has become an important component of alternative energy generation in some countries. Within the framework of the energy transition, digester gases from sewage treatment plants and waste recycling plants are becoming increasingly important. The gas analysis component of the related plant technology plays an important role both for process monitoring and for safeguarding the plant components operated with the digester gas. The INCA gas analyser technology is specially tailored for this.

Union Instruments Calorimetry Measuring Devices (CWD) — Calorimetry Measuring Devices (CWD)

The CWD2005 BASIC is the standard combustion calorimeter for online determination of the Wobbe Index and specific density. The Wobbe Index and the specific density are measured directly, calorific value and CARI are calculated from these values. It is suitable for all combustible gases – even low calorific gases can be measured with a support gas supply. Additionally, the CWD provides optionally a measuring range switch to measure huge measuring ranges. Further, due to the very robust measuring system it is possible to measure heavily contaminated gases such as coke gas and blast furnace gas without significant increased maintenance requirements.
