The Fire Measure at Wood Chip Handling Process

Abstract

We treat a lot of combustibles at the wood chip handling process, so it is always put to the risk of a fire. Actually, at conveyer for wood chip, many fire accidents have been reported. At wood chip handling process which is the uppermost part of a factory, an outbreak of fire has a serious influence on factory operation. That’s why the fire prevention is strongly needed.
At Niigata Mill of Hokuetsu Kishu Paper, the fire measure at wood chip handling process is filled with much more power from around 2009. In this news, I’d like to introduce some measures against a fire, for example, improvement of operation and equipment, introduction of a temperature monitoring system, and so on. Those measures are introduced at the “Kvaerner line”, with a larger production between two lines of the pulping process in Niigata Mill.
