Dust explosion hazard considerations for materials handling plants and processes
A considerable amount of data and information on dust explosions can be found in the literature, but the impact or relevance of this information on materials handling plants and processes often is not discussed in great detail. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the more important considerations that should be made when designing, analysing or auditing powder handling systems and processes. Flame propagation depends strongly on dust cloud and particle properties. Hence, dust characterisation is an essential element of dust explosion hazard control. Certain industrial situations may require modifications to existing explosion vent sizing techniques. In particular, extreme caution must be exercised in the design and application of vent ducts. The severity of dust explosions can be reduced by minimising the generation and turbulence of dust. Options include reducing drop height, stepping conveying pipes and selecting the dense-phase mode of transport.
