Stop Wondering, Take Action on Your Combustible Dust

Knowing the combustible properties of the dust handled at your facility is often the first step toward avoiding a devastating dust explosion. It is essential to complying with your regional standards and for the safety of your industrial process because the data generated from dust testing is used to:

Identify at-risk areas within your building, rooms, workspaces and process.
Make safe handling and process improvements to reduce the risk of combustion.
Design explosion prevention, mitigation and protection systems for your unique hazards.

A variety of dust tests may be performed to provide different types of essential data.

Explosion Protection for Dust Collection

Dust explosions and fires in the biomass industry, including manufacturing plants, are not unusual occurrences.

The elements needed for an explosion, usually multiple things working together—fuel, oxygen, confinement and dust dispersion—can originate in multiple equipment areas within the facility: hammermills, conveyors, dryers, coolers or storage vessels.

After that, the only missing ingredient needed for a potentially devastating explosion is an ignition source. One process vessel most prone to dust explosions is the Air-Material Separator (AMS), which in a plant can be a dust collector/baghouse or cyclone.

Low Profile Bulk Bag Filler with Explosion Proof Controls

Flexicon have introduced a TWIN-CENTREPOST™ Bulk Bag Filler with XP controls and reduced height posts for low headroom applications. It is equipped with a manual fill head height adjustment to accommodate smaller bag sizes, pneumatically retractable bag hooks, an inflatable connector to seal the bag inlet spout, and a feed chute outlet port for dust-free air displacement during filling. An explosion-proof electrical system controls the automated vibratory densification/deaeration deck which stabilises the bag for storage and shipment.

Innovative Multi-Point Earthing System from StuvEx

When loading or unloading non-conductive, flammable liquids or powders, there is a risk of generating electrostatic discharges. If these discharges reach sufficient magnitude, they can instigate an explosion. In order to perform these tasks safely, StuvEx provides a variety of systems designed to verify the grounding of conductive equipment. | Read more »

Fire Prevention, Isolation, and Extinguishing Systems by Boss Products

Every industrial facility holds paramount the importance of maintaining a safe working environment. Given the inherent risks with dust, fire, and explosions, it’s imperative to have state-of-the-art systems in place to protect not only the infrastructure but also the employees who operate within these environments. Raptor Spark® is a game changer in this arena, offering an unmatched array of Explosion Prevention, Fire Isolation, and Diversion options. | Read more »

TubeEndProtection- Effective protection for discharge pipes

Pressure relief fittings such as rupture discs and safety valves are crucial safety components in a variety of industrial systems. These valves are used to protect systems and processes from internal overpressure by providing controlled pressure relief to prevent potentially dangerous situations. They are used in a wide range of industries, from petrochemicals to food processing and power generation. | Read more »
