Fire protection solutions for the Wood pellet industry

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. This is why customer adapted solutions are required in order to achieve an efficient protection for the pellet manufacturing process.

Firefly has developed the following solutions for optimising safety in the Wood pellet industry:

Protection of	Purpose	How
Dryer	To detect and extinguish ignition sources caused by material build-up in ducts.	Using fast IR-sensor detection in combination with effective water spray extinguishing.
Mill	To protect the mill from fire caused by the combination of an ignition source and dry material within an oxygen charged environment.	Using fast IR-sensor detection in combination with effective water spray extinguishing.
Press	To avoid fire in your press caused by over-heating of material.	Using fast IR-sensor detection in combination with effective water spray extinguishing.
Cooler	To protect the cooler from fire caused by the combination of an ignition source and dry material within an oxygen charged environment.	Using fast IR-sensor detection in combination with effective water spray extinguishing.
Filter	To detect and extinguish ignition sources in ducts in order to avoid filter fires and explosions.	Using fast IR-sensor detection in combination with effective water spray extinguishing.
Silo	To detect and extinguish ignition sources in ducts in order to avoid silo fires and explosions.	Using fast IR-sensor detection in combination with effective water spray extinguishing.
