Flame detectors nominated for award

Talentum detectors are used in a huge 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. 

Benefits of Talentum UV/Dual IR include an ability to detect fires in seconds, even before smoke is produced and to concentrate on a single area of the spectrum – Talentum’s Broadspectrum technology detects from non-visible ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR. They are also immune from the effects of sunlight, artificial light, arc welding, electrical sparks or UV lamps.

According to FFE, these features combine to make the Talentum a flame detector with all‐round performance, sensitive to all fuel types, immune from false readings – and 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.”
