Coal Fire Detection

For all coal handling, processing and storage applications

LAND offers a system capable of monitoring the entire coal handling process including applications such as coal storage and transportation as well as the actual grinding.

The early detection of a coal fire is vital to the safe and efficient operation of any plant. We have a range of coal fire detection systems based upon the best monitoring technology available.

Product Range

1.	Railcar Fire Detector - Check and detect hotspots and fires in coal railcars	4.	Mill and Silo Fire Detector - CO monitor for early detection and advance warning of mill/silo fires.
2.	Conveyor Fire Detector - Early detection of hotspots/fires along the conveyor	5.	IR Coal Fire Monitor - Infrared thermometer for detecting fires on the mill/bunkers
3.	Coal Pile Fire Detector - Early detection of hotspots/fires in coal stockyards	6.	Portable Thermal Imager - Hotspot and fire detection in bunkers/hoppers/silos and plant integrity checking

What Causes Spontaneous Combustion in Coal ?

The risk of fire exists where ever significant amounts of coal are being handled or processed. Many different factors can help lead to spontaneous combustion including:

Type (i.e. quality, PRB is particularly susceptible)
Age
Composition (i.e. moisture content)
Storage Conditions (i.e. level of oxygen)
Processing method (i.e. pulverizing)

Hot spots can occur when coal absorbs oxygen from the air. Heat generated by the oxidation can then initiate the fire. Carbon monoxide is given off from the earliest stages of combustion; this can later lead to explosions. Coal that has been stored for excessive amounts of time has an increased possibility of heating. New coal added on top of old coal can create segregation of particle sizes, which is a major cause of heating.
