Summary:

Methods have been presented to evaluate the dust and hybrid explosion hazards in plants and process operations. Ways to evaluate hazards have been presented relative to material reactivity, ignitability and explosion output. Criteria for successful engineering hazards analysis have been identified. In powder operations, dust and hybrid fires and explosions can be minimized so that the potential is never near the operational conditions including startup, shutdown and emergency shutdown. Safety codes and testing have also been presented.
