Fire detection in carbon storages during material handling
Different forms of carbon are often used in metal and steel production processes. The carbon is stored in silos or bunkers that have limited space depending on the filling grade. In case an inert silo or bunker is not used, an O2 measurement technology can detect a potential fire risk and alleviate that risk by decreasing the O2 content in the silo. Alternatively, a CO monitor can detect a fire by sensing an increase in the CO content. A combination of both technologies in one installation is possible and increases the overall safety level of the process.
