Dust Explosions in the Process Industries: Identification, Assessment, Prevention and Mitigation

Dust Explosions in the Process Industries: Identification, Assessment, Prevention and Mitigation, Fourth Edition, offers an up-to-date evaluation of prevalent activities, testing methods, design measures, and safe operating techniques. The title, which includes a detailed and comprehensive critique of all the significant phases relating to the hazard and control of the common and costly occurrence of dust explosions, will be useful to those responsible for safety in a wide array of industries such as petrochemical, food, paper, and pharmaceuticals. Fully revised and restructured Handbook format providing practicing engineers with accessible content who need theory, facts, and applications on handIncludes case studies and worked examples, plus design and protection heuristics for standard dust hazards and environments, helping you apply the principlesComprehensive details of all relevant international standards, US (NFPA and ASTM) and European (EN and ATEX) INDICE: Dust explosionsGeneration of explosible dust clouds by re-entrainment and re-dispersion of deposited dust in airPropagation of flames in dust cloudsIgnition of dust clouds and dust deposits: further consideration of some selected aspectsSizing of dust explosion vents in the process industries: further consideration of some important aspectsAssessment of ignitability, explosibility and related properties of dusts by laboratory scale testsIgnitability and explosibility data for dust from laboratory tests
