More about the project
Waste and biofuel fires are an increasingly serious global problem. These incidents are costly and can result in loss of life, material damage, environmental pollution, the release of greenhouse gases, and even secondary fires such as forest fires. Early detection and control of waste fires are essential—not only to minimize their environmental impact but also to protect the health and safety of workers, firefighters, and nearby communities.
This project aims to evaluate innovative methods for the early detection of smouldering fires, such as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), in various storage configurations, including pile storage and silo storage.
The project is part of the research in the research group in The Environmental Science and Engineering group (ESEG)
