Detect Fire Sources and Extinguish before Ignition with GreCon

Fagus GreCon has been the leader in Spark Detection and Extinguishing Systems for over 50 years, helping eliminate early causes of fires and explosions. InfraRed sensors detect sparks, embers and hot particles; then automatically activate the appropriate countermeasures to eliminate the hazard.

The processing of forestry chips, pellets or recycled wood can result in fires during the bioenergy production process. Since the process includes heat and other mechanical processes, sparks, embers, hot particles sparks and hot spots can arise, which represent a major risk of fire in theindustrial process and can put an entire facility at risk. One of the most efficient measures to prevent a fire or dust explosion is the early identification of the ignition source so it can be extinguished quickly. GreCon Spark Detection & Extinguishing Systems provides excellent preventive protection; it does not wait for an actual fire or dust explosion to erupt.

Now there is also an even better “smart” extinguishing option from GreCon. The GreCon Intelligent Extinguishing Module (IEM) reliably extinguishes sparks while also monitoring early wear recognition.  The new smart GreCon IEM has sensors integrated into the extinguishing module to detect the wear of your nozzles while also monitoring low pressure flow to the nozzles. In addition, to monitoring flow to the nozzle the system will also detect and recognize when micro leaks are occurring with a nozzle. Thus, increasing plant and system availability with efficient planning of maintenance to reduce downtime, as defective nozzles are repaired before they become a problem.

The IEM builds upon Fagus GreCon’s existing knowledge of intelligent systems, which includes the intelligent DLD 1/9 Spark Detector. The GreCon DLD 1/9 offers additional protection to industries using intelligent detection technology (IDT). IDT not only identifies hazardous moving ignition sources before a fire breaks out, but the DLD 1/9 detector is also able to differentiate between dangerous sparks or harmless incidence of extraneous light due to leaky/damaged pipes or an opening of an inspection flap.

GreCon Spark & Extinguishing systems are FM Approved and are part of the fire and explosion protection outlined in NFPA 660.
