Bio-ethanol plant protected by SharpEye detectors

The NESTE Oil Bio ethanol plant, constructed in the Port of Rotterdam, is equipped with a  total of 55 Sharpeye 40/40-I-S optical flame detectors and 8 SharpEye 40/40-M optical flame detectors.

The ongoing demand for environment friendly bio-fuels has created the need for dedicated extraction plants that produce the bio- fuels from various agricultural crops. Production of ethanol from corn is a growing trend all over the world. The ethanol serves as a clean burning fuel however due to its high flammability its production process requires special fast and reliable fire detection and suppression means.

The SharpEye 40/40 line of optical flame detectors provide enhanced sensitivity and highest immunity to false alarms, thus making them the preferred fire protection solution for the modern bio-fuels industry.
