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.
A key tool for assessing safe working conditions are occupational exposure limits (OELs), which refer to the airborne concentration of harmful chemical agents. The OEL indicates the maximum concentration of a substance a worker may be exposed to over a working lifetime, without suffering acute or chronic health effects.
