Offshore drilling industry is often forced to employ aging platforms to continue production. Spontaneous combustion is a common occurrence in stockpiles/soil containing massive quantities of coal. Regular preventive maintenance not only prevents safety hazards but avoids release of toxic pollutants, soil/water contamination etc. that could lead to flouting norms and inviting fines and restriction. Early detection of hotspots is possible using thermal imaging systems, which allows timely action and containment without any downtime.
