Multiple Gas Detection (MGD)
Advanced early fire detection solution for demanding applications
Numerous fires could have been avoided by early fire detection. These fires have cost human lives and injuries as well as millions in damages and lost production for the affected industries.
MGD technology, originally developed for aerospace, is based on the detection of fire related gases. The Firefly MGD-detector can be described as an “electronic nose”.
Through intelligent analysis of several different gas combinations, the detector can identify a fire at a very early stage. It is a solution for early fire detection in tough industrial environments such as silos, warehouses, port facilities, industrial production areas, etc.
MAIN FEATURES:
The Firefly MGD-detector shows that it is
possible to identify an ongoing pyrolysis process
in an earlier stage compared to other detection
methods.
The MGD-detector had the fastest
response and indicated a “pre-alarm” within
1,5-3 hours.
MULTIPLE ALARM FUNCTIONALITY
Once the MGD detects gas, various activation methods can be triggered, such as water extinguishing into the process, CO2 extinguishing, material diversion, and stopping material flow with abort gates. The detector uses MOS thick film technology, allowing it to detect fires and hazardous events with high sensitivity across a wide range of gaseous fire byproducts. The MGD features an array of six chemical gas sensors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors, utilizing artificial intelligence for data processing.
MGD can be provided with multiple alarm functionality and tailored to each customer’s specific needs.
A pre-alarm indication from a Firefly MGD detector offers the earliest warning signal of an incipient fire.
