Why Flame Detectors Matter More Than Ever in Singapore
Minerva is a Singapore-based company specialising in safety, control, and monitoring systems.
The company serves high-risk sectors such as oil and gas, marine, semiconductors, and public infrastructure with tailored, reliable solutions.
In facilities such as petrochemical plants, marine fuel depots, and semiconductor cleanrooms, the risk of fire is ever-present due to the presence of flammable substances.
Flame detectors provide a critical first line of defence by sensing radiation from open flames and triggering alerts within seconds.
Given Singapore’s strict safety regulations under SCDF and global standards, the need for dependable, fast, and easily integrated flame detection systems has never been more urgent.

What Sets Minerva’s Flame Detection Systems Apart
Minerva offers flame detectors designed for fast response and accurate detection.
These systems use technologies like multi-spectrum infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) to detect various types of fires, including hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon flames.
Key Features
- Fast response time: Detection happens in seconds, reducing fire spread risk
- False alarm immunity: Built to ignore sunlight, welding arcs, and other false triggers
- Integration ready: Works with alarm, suppression, and building management systems
- Rugged design: Suitable for hazardous environments like offshore platforms and chemical plants
Minerva’s detectors are tested for high reliability and performance, even in harsh industrial conditions.
Industry Use Cases: Trusted by Top Facilities
Minerva works with businesses across sectors where fire risk is a real concern.
From oil refineries and power stations to semiconductor manufacturers and marine facilities, their flame detection systems are already protecting key infrastructure in Singapore.
Example Applications
- Marine Fuel Depot: Quick flame detection integrated with automatic suppression to stop fires before they spread.
- Semiconductor Facility: Sensitive detection in cleanroom environments where traditional systems might not work as well.
- Oil & Gas Storage: Continuous monitoring of tank farms with remote alerts to minimise response time.
With decades of experience and a strong track record, Minerva’s systems are built around real needs, not just technical specs.
Smarter Safety with the YAVA Cloud Platform
Minerva also offers smart monitoring through its YAVA Cloud Platform.
This system allows real-time alerts, remote access to flame detector status, and integration with gas detection and environmental monitoring.
Key Advantages of YAVA Cloud Platform
- Sends real-time alerts directly to safety teams
- Enables 24/7 remote monitoring of sensors
- Scales easily across multiple locations
- Works with existing systems without major upgrades
The Role of Flame Detectors in Compliance and Insurance
For many industries, flame detection systems are not only essential for safety but also play a role in meeting compliance and insurance requirements.
In Singapore, regulatory bodies like the SCDF mandate strict fire safety protocols for high-risk facilities.
Insurance providers may also view facilities with advanced detection systems more favourably, potentially lowering premiums and improving coverage terms.
With Minerva’s experience in designing and implementing compliant systems, clients gain peace of mind knowing their operations are both protected and aligned with regulatory expectations.
