Simple devices to prevent dust explosion propagation in charge chutes and pipes

Dust explosions–Cases, causes, consequences, and control

“…In the event of a dust explosion occurring in the vessel during the filling operation, a flame could propagate up the charge chute, impinge on the operator, and cause serious injury [42].…”

Dust explosions: A threat to the process industries

“…3). The accident reduction could result from the growing understanding about the mechanisms of dust explosions (Kauffman, 1982;Eckhoff, 1984Eckhoff, , 1986Eckhoff, , 1995Eckhoff, , 2009Edwards et al, 1987;Dahoe, 1996 1967 ;Frank, 2004;Amyotte et al, 2009Holbrow and Tyldesley, 2003;Going and Lombardo, 2007;Eckhoff, 1996), and continuous research interest in dust explosions. With the help of the Engineering Village database, the number of published academic papers (journal papers in English only) relating to dust explosions in various periods are collected (Fig.…”

Assessment of chemical process hazards in early design stages

“…There is a lot of research work done on dust explosion (Holbrow & Tyldesley, 2003;Siwek, 1996) and electrostatic hazards (Glor, 2003;Ohsawa, 2003) in dryer and other solid storage equipment units. However, these scenarios are not yet subject of SREST method.…”
