Recycling and waste incineration
Early Fire Source Detection and Directed Attack
Recycling and Waste Incineration Plant
Recycling facilities and waste incineration plants store a variety of flammable materials, posing a high fire risk. These substances exhibit markedly different combustion characteristics. In addition to early detection, cooling hotspots and rapid fire suppression are critical.
Items to be protected:
Materials to be recycled
Materials sorted and stored for subsequent processing.
Storage warehouse within the plant premises
Firefighting Technical Requirements
Recycling facilities and waste incineration plants not only require early fire detection but also effective fire suppression. It is essential to minimize downtime at such facilities whenever possible.
Integrated into the automated fire suppression system
Automated fire suppression systems are widely used. In such systems, the remotely controlled FireDos monitoring device enables targeted fire suppression, replacing large‑scale extinguishing methods like sprinkler systems.
Infrared Early-Warning System
Systems based on thermal detection principles ensure early fire identification. When integrated with automated fire suppression systems, this type of early‑fire detection technology offers distinct advantages over other solutions, enabling reliable fire suppression even before professional rescue teams arrive.
Wetting Agent Mixing Device
In most cases, the use of a wetting agent can further enhance the success rate of fire suppression. The FireDos proportioning unit, with its ability to accurately dilute foam concentrate at very low ratios—such as 0.1%—is an ideal solution for this application.
By integrating fire-source detection, proportional mixing, and remote monitoring systems, fire-related losses can be reduced while costs are minimized. Although the initial investment is relatively high, the cost savings resulting from decreased system downtime and failures lead to a very short payback period.
Fire Risks at Recycling and Waste Incineration Facilities
Smoldering fire in the storage area
Various ignition sources are present in the stockpiles at recycling and waste‑incineration facilities. Fires are often triggered by damaged lithium‑ion batteries. At composting plants, the decomposition of organic materials can generate flammable gases that ignite upon contact with sparks, or the exothermic nature of the decomposition process may raise temperatures high enough to cause stored materials to self‑ignite, leading to smoldering fires. Such fires are often difficult to detect and extremely challenging to extinguish once they have spread.
Typically used in recycling or waste incineration plants.
Fire safety philosophy for recycling and waste incineration plants: The following key considerations must be taken into account.
An automatic fire suppression system equipped with a remote monitoring controller enables precise fire extinguishment.
The infrared early detection system ensures reliable early warning.
In addition to foam, the proportioning mixer can also produce wetting agents, thereby enhancing the success rate of fire suppression.
