Why early heat detection is essential

Fires in the chemical industry often start without visible warning. Traditional detection methods usually respond when it’s already almost too late. In an environment where seconds make the difference between control and escalation, early thermal detection is not a luxury but a necessity.

Explosion hazard

Internal heating or gas formation can lead to fire or explosion even before smoke or flames become visible.

Stricter environmental regulations and liability

Incidents now more quickly lead to legal consequences and reputational damage in cases of environmental pollution or injury.

Unreliability of conventional detection

Smoke detectors and manual inspections fail to detect critical temperature changes in pipes, tanks or enclosed spaces.

Smart technology for fire prevention

It’s clear that in the chemical industry, rapid detection of temperature deviations is crucial. The sooner internal heating or early reactions are detected, the smaller the chance of escalation. Thermal cameras make this possible by identifying subtle temperature differences in installations, pipelines or storage tanks and automatically sending an alert when irregularities occur. Thanks to 24/7 remote monitoring by our own control room, physical surveillance such as a fire watch is no longer necessary. This allows immediate and targeted intervention before an invisible risk turns into a fire or explosion.

What is the RED?

Types of solutions

Kooi offers advanced fire and heat detection solutions, specially developed for high-risk environments where standard detection systems fall short. Thanks to their versatile features, our detection cameras can be used in a wide range of applications. With continuous thermal monitoring, we detect temperature deviations at an early stage, allowing us to manage fire risks effectively and reliably. Always tailored to the specific complexity of each location.

More FAQs

Kooi’s detection system operates based on trend analysis. When the RED detects a temperature increase that falls outside the expected trend, an alert is sent to the Kooi Alarm Centre. The innovative system uses AI (Artificial Intelligence), and this advanced technology helps prevent false alarms.

Thanks to our efficient approach, we keep costs low. The exact costs naturally depend on various factors, such as the size of the location to be secured, the power supply and the duration of the security period. We are happy to provide a free, no-obligation quotation. You pay for our service on a monthly basis.

Kooi’s fire detection system can be used in many different sectors. The detection system is often deployed in the waste and recycling industry, charging infrastructure and the chemical industry. Locations where waste is sorted, shredded, incinerated or composted are at risk of fire. Items such as lithium batteries, mattresses and aerosols pose particular hazards for waste processing. There is also a growing demand for other applications, such as in the chemical industry or at charging stations.

The RED is extremely reliable. We operate with a dual internet connection using two different providers, ensuring a consistently stable connection. In addition, we continuously monitor the RED’s performance with our Health Check. If we detect a malfunction, we immediately send a technician to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
