Description
Originally published in three volumes by the Institution of Chemical Engineers from 1985 to 1988, this guide formed the first authoritative
and comprehensive guide for dust explosion prevention and protection for engineers, scientists, safety specialists, and managers. This
guide is a compilation of current best practices for measures to prevent dust explosions from occurring, and, if they do occur, to protect
the plant and personnel from their destructive effects by applying the techniques of explosion containment, explosion suppression, and
explosion venting.
Included is new material on the containment and venting of dust explosions. This guide helps those responsible
for the design, supply, and operation of process plants to comply with the provisions of health and safety legislation. Dust explosions
can occur anywhere where combustible powders are handled, such as coal, wood, flour, starch, sugar, rubber, plastics, some metals, and
pharmaceuticals.
Audience
Design, production, maintenance and safety engineers in the process industries, consultants and students studying process engineering.
