(Offshore / Onshore)
 Oil / Gas Pipeline (Distribution /
Production / Transmission)
 Chemical Plants
 Electric Power
 Aviation / Aerospace
Typical Industrial Flame Sources
The most common potential ignition sources:
 Alcohols
 Chemicals
 Diesel
 Gasoline
 Kerosene
 Jet Fuels
 LNG / LPG
 n-Heptane
 Solvents
 Textiles
Industrial Flame Detection Requirements
 Flame Detector Performance Criteria


Detection Range
Field of View (FOV)
Response Time
Optical Integrity Check / Continuous Optical Path Monitoring (COPM)
Operating Temperature
Communication Capabilities
 False Alarm Immunity
 Detector must be immune to a multitude of IR signals, including:





Random motion
Modulation of heated surfaces
Hot air flow, arc welding
Reflection off water surfaces
Other related environmental nuisances which may result in false alarms
Key Customer Concerns
 False Alarm Immunity
 Uninterrupted 24/7 operations without shut-down for false alarms
 Eliminates the high cost of emergency response
 Materials, Clean-up, Resources, Production Time
 Field of View / Detector Range
 Precision uniform sensing for protection and reliability with no blind spots
 Wider field of view at greater distances requires fewer detectors and
reduces costs (acquisition, installation, etc.)
 Responsivity
 Fast detection protects people; minimizes damage to equipment / facilities
 Rugged Design
 Must operate in extreme environments with reduced maintenance costs
Recognizing False Alarm Issues
 Optical flame detector manufacturers have attempted to
resolve false alarm issues by using:
 Multiple Sensors
 UV, IR, Visual
 Advanced signal processing techniques:





Correlation
Frequency Analysis
Periodicity Check
Ratios Analysis
Threshold Crossing
Expert System vs. NNT System
 Current optical flame detection systems
 Utilize expert decision systems, a set of classification conditions defined
by direct human analysis of experimental data
 Generating accurate rules for classifying flames from false alarms
is extremely difficult and time consuming
 Neural-Network Technology (NNT) based optical flame
detection systems
 Utilize artificial neural networks (ANN), a pattern recognition mechanism
derived from statistical analysis of experimental data
 Development time and effort is shifted from expert to computer
 Superior discrimination of flames from false alarms is provided by
computer optimization to lower classification errors
 The FlameGard 5 MSIR was exposed to over 450 flame and
non-flame events as part of its training
MSIR / NNT Processing Modes
 Training Mode
 A set of processing modules running on a computer, separate
from the flame detector, learns patterns from input data and
establishes coefficients of correlation to target flame or
false-alarm condition
 Detection Mode
 A simple arithmetic computation uses input sensor data and
constant correlation coefficients trained on archived sensor data
to decide on presence or lack of flame
 The quality of decision scheme is independent of its complexity
and embedded system resources
