Flame Detection: Choosing the Right Technology for Your Application

In many industrial environments, detecting a fire in its earliest stages can mean the difference between a minor incident and a major operational disruption.

That’s why Otis Instruments offers flame detection solutions from OmniGuard that complement our gas detection systems, providing an additional layer of protection for personnel, equipment, and facilities.

Different applications require different detection technologies:

660 — UV Flame Detection
Ultraviolet (UV) detectors respond extremely quickly to the UV radiation produced by flames, making them ideal for applications where rapid detection is critical.

Common applications:
• Fuel storage areas
• Turbine enclosures
• Chemical processing facilities
• Engine test cells

760 — Multi-Spectrum Flame Detection
Infrared (IR) detectors monitor the infrared energy emitted by flames and are well-suited for environments where hydrocarbon fuels are present.

Common applications:
• Oil & gas facilities
• Compressor stations
• Tank farms
• Refining operations

860 — UV/IR Flame Detection
By combining both ultraviolet and infrared technologies, UV/IR detectors provide enhanced reliability and improved resistance to nuisance alarms.

Common applications:
• Manufacturing facilities
• Aircraft hangars
• Power generation plants
• Industrial processing operations
• High-value equipment protection

When integrated with a comprehensive gas detection system, flame detectors help facilities improve hazard awareness, accelerate emergency response, and support overall operational safety.

At Otis Instruments, we work with customers to identify the right combination of gas and flame detection technologies for their specific application and risk profile.
