3 Early warning fire detectin and autmatic extinguishing intelligent systems with thermal cameras d the trick 1. Fire prtectin challenges - current status qu Fires in WTE plants in Germany Damage 65 % < 0,5 Mi. Eur 25 % < 1,0 Mi. Eur 10 % > 1,0 Mi. Eur ut f which 10 % > 5,0 Mi. Eur (apprx. 2-5 claims per year) Areas 60 % waste bunker and input area 25 % flue gas cleaning system (filters a..) 15 % ther (turbines, electrical cmpntents, cmmn rms etc.) (surce: GDV Germany) 3

6 Fact is: After 5 mins f uncntrlled burning, it is extremely hard t extinguish an RDF fire. (fire brigade qute) fire fighting at a facility fr prcessing and string recycling material surce: OIS fire fighting at a facility fr prcessing and string recycling material surce: OIS 6

7 Why? there is n fire detectin at all if in place: flame, smke r heat detectrs (including sprinklers) react t late resulting in delay befre the fire brigade is ntified Cnclusin: it is all a matter f time! 7
