EARLY FIRE DETECTION WITH THE ELECTRONIC NOSE (MGD)
The MGD detector contains extremely sensitive sensors that react fast on the gases released in a very early stage of a fire, even before the presence of visible smoke or flames. The MGD detector can be used in extremely harsh environments such as storage silos, conveying systems, and mining sites but also in electrical rooms and turbines.
WHY USE EARLY FIRE DETECTION?
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.
With 40 years of experience in providing preventive fire protection to the process industries, Firefly now offers FM-approved Multiple Gas Detection (MGDTM) as solution for early fire detection in tough industrial environments such as silos, warehouses, port facilities, industrial production areas, etc.
MAIN FEATURES
- Fire detection at an early stage, using highly advanced MGDTM technology
- Designed for tough environments, with robust design withstanding dust, humidity, vibration, etc.
- Low maintenance required, with calibration interval >10 years
MGDTM Technology
MGDTM technology, originally developed for aerospace, is based on the detection of fire related gases. The Firefly MGDTM-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.
