Description
Unfortunately, dust explosions are common and costly in a wide array of industries such as petrochemical, food, paper and pharmaceutical.
It is imperative that practical and theoretical knowledge of the origin, development, prevention and mitigation of dust explosions is
imparted to the responsible safety manager. The material in this book offers an up to date evaluation of prevalent activities, testing
methods, design measures and safe operating techniques. Also provided is a detailed and comprehensive critique of all the significant
phases relating to the hazard and control of a dust explosion. An invaluable reference work for industry, safety consultants and students.
Audience
Process Engineers, Safety Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers in the Process Industries, Managers in the Process Industries, Safety Consultants
