Sources of renewable energy are increasingly moving into social focus. In this context, the focus is also on wind turbines, which have to become ever larger and more efficient due to the shortage of suitable locations and the simultaneously increasing demand for energy. 

Wood pellets as an alternative and high-quality fuel have become increasingly important in recent years. Robust and reliable thermography solutions are a suitable tool for plant protection here.

The Amager Resource Center (ARC) is a waste incinerator like no other. From the roof of the Waste to Energy facility, skiers and snowboarders wind their way down on green plastic mats from a height of about 80 meters, even in the summer. The city hall of the Danish capital, Copenhagen, is just five kilometres away. The location, which is almost in the heart of a European capital, as well as its use as a public leisure centre, shows how much confidence operators place in the safety of the ARC. An important component in the security concept is the WASTE-SCAN infrared monitoring system for early fire detection by InfraTec.

InfraTec has been developing and producing pyroelectric detectors for over 30 years now. They have been tried and proven for numerous demanding customer applications in recent decades. However, to reduce the expenditure for customers and to facilitate the system integration of a detector, InfraTec has developed the digital pyroelectric detector (LRD).

Science lives from ambitious and inquisitive people. Progress would be inconceivable without them. In the field of infrared technologies, the researchers and developers of InfraTec make a decisive contribution to the advanced development of pyroelectric detectors with their visionary ideas and expertise.
