Thermography is a cost-effective and more efficient way of leak detection and early firefighting. The technology identifies heat anomalies, hotspots, cold spots or early signs of failures before they worsen and cause bigger loss.
Chemical Plants or factories are vulnerable to fire hazards. It’s the most serious, yet the most preventable risk as it can cause a huge loss in the company’s revenue and much worse, death of employees.
Stages of Fire
- Incipient stage is where the fire is about to initiate. At this stage, the fire is very easy to suppress with least damage.
- In the smoldering stage, there is miniscule time left before the flashover happens. Flashover is when the heating materials reach their ignition temperature and the flame is about to start. The fire is harder to control after this.
- The flame stage is where the actual fire spreads.
Depending on the predefined temperature parameters Hikvision thermal camera can detect heat buildups and alert the fire prevention team for actions as early as the incipient or smoldering stage.
Why Hikvision camera?
Hikvision’s Thermal Cameras provide continuous tracking and monitoring of temperatures in targeted locations. Relevant personnel will be alerted or warned upon the detection of abnormal temperature.
Chemical plants have storage areas or process that are susceptible to corrosion or explosions. Hikvision’s anti-corrosion cameras and explosion-proof cameras are specially-designed for these challenging environments. Hikvision explosion-proof camera has 613L stainless steel material that is suitable to use in explosion-proof environment.
