Since the summer of 2012, when Biral’s prototype BTD-300 detected its first thunderstorm, Biral’s own BTD-300 has detected ~140 thunderstorms within 20km of its home in Portishead, UK.The evolution of the BTD-300 Lightning DetectorThe BTD-300 is used in land-based applications and was designed to meet the needs of national and international ...
In 2020 alone, the Smithsonian Institution recorded 67 confirmed volcanic eruptions from 63 different volcanoes. Of these recorded instances, 22 were from new eruptions that began within the year. Volcanoes are an incredible force of nature made even more incredible with the addition of plume lightning, which can be spectacular. When a volcanic eruption is imminent, there are government ...
This is all the more important in areas where large numbers of people are outside across a wide area (such as an open mine). Systems which rely on lightning detection alone are only effective if the storm is already producing lightning at some distance before moving closer towards the detector. ...
With this in mind, meteorological equipment specialist Biral is offering its BTD-200 self-contained, standalone lightning warning system so that employers can take precautions to prevent exposure to lightning and ensure their workers’ and process safety. ...
Meteorological equipment specialists Biral has been working closely with ORE Catapult to further develop its BTD-350 thunderstorm and lightning detection system for offshore wind farms and is installing its technology for testing at the Catapult’s 7MW Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine in Fife. ...
