Flame detectors nominated for award

Talentum detectors are used in an array of sensitive or dangerous environments, including recycling facilities, textile plants, petrochemical plants and aircraft hangars.FFE has even adapted it to protect the Bloodhound supersonic car. 

The Talentum UV/Dual IR can detect fires in seconds, even before smoke is produced (or from smokeless fires) from sources as wide-ranging as paper, plastic, rubber, textiles, metals and foam, ensuring early fires are kept under control.

Talentum’s Broadspectrum technology detects from non-visible ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR), identifying the characteristics of the flames themselves. The detectors are immune from the effects of sunlight, artificial light, arc welding, electrical sparks or UV lamps.

The flame detector offers excellent all‐round performance, is sensitive to all fuel types, immune from false readings, and is said to be available at a lower cost per unit than standard flame units.

“We’re delighted to be nominated for this award,” said FFE’s MD, Mark Osborne. “Talentum really is unique, and the Bloodhound project is just one example of its versatility. We took an industrial product and developed it to work in what is, effectively, a jet fighter/racing car/spaceship combined. Rolls Royce and Jaguar both have their engines in the car – and have their brand names printed on it – so Talentum has been trusted to not only protect Bloodhound, but the integrity of these other brands as well. No other flame detector exists that can do this.”
