Bulk Solids Handling & Processing Innovations
Powders and bulk solids are handled and processed widely in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, agriculture, plastic, and other industries. Handling and processing of these dry materials presents unique fire, explosion, and toxicity hazards. Substances which are practically inert in consolidated form can become quite hazardous when converted to powders and granules. This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in explosion protection and process safety solutions for dry material processing industries.
How many combustible dust fires and explosions happen every year? Along with generating lessons learned from near-misses and industrial incidents, answering this question is the main purpose of the Combustible Dust Incident Database.

Everyone is talking about Explosion Safety and the associated effects in conventional production plants. It’s also an important issue in other areas. One of them is the recycling industry where, during the separation, shredding and processing of combustible materials explosion-prone dusts are created. The following will provide you with details for an Explosion Safety concept in a recycling plant for printer toners, and also with further information on the safety devices used.
