Explosion Prevention & Protection Options for Dust Collection Systems

The dangers of mis-applied explosion protection equipment for dust collector systems are well documented. But less understood is how to avoid them. Join this sponsored webinar to review different equipment options along with applicable NFPA standards and how to use this basic knowledge to invest wisely and meet the Life Safety Goal.      

Learn the basics of prevention and protection   

In this webinar, you’ll gain a fundamental understanding of how combustible dust explosions occur, process conditions that contribute to them and how to minimize hazards. You’ll also assess dust collector explosion protection options while considering real-world examples of what can go wrong when equipment is inappropriate. By the end of the webinar, you’ll feel confident in your ability to create a performance-based dust collection system that satisfies your needs, meets NFPA standards and helps you protect life and property.  

Attend to learn:

  • What the NFPA 652 combustible dust standard means for chemical manufacturers
  • The dust hazard analysis (DHS) process and requirements
  • NFPA 654 standard for preventing combustible dust explosions
  • Process conditions that contribute to deflagration and explosion hazards
  • The explosion pentagon and how a combustible dust event occurs
  • How to identify controls to minimize hazards
  • NFPA 68 and 69 standards on explosion protection and prevention
  • Why dust testing is important
  • Dust collector explosion protection options
