DUST EXPLOSION TESTING REQUIREMENT UNDER NEW OSHA NATIONAL EMPHASIS PROGRAM
Dust explosions are a serious hazard in industries nationwide. They lead to the loss of production, plant/facility destruction and personnel injury or fatality.
In 2005, the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board issued a report stating that between 1980 and 2005, at least 281 deadly combustible dust incidents (fires and explosions) occurred in the U.S., killing 119 people and injuring 718 others while extensively damaging or destroying facilities. Congressional hearings… Continue

Secondary Dust Explosions
Remember when your mom told you to keep your
room clean.Well if you work in a facility that creates dust or
handles powders remember what mom told you, “Clean your
room!” Fugitive dust is the cause of most secondary dusts
explosions that can be devastating and even fatal. So in your
facility all areas must be kept clean. This includes floors,
rafters, sills, and anywhere dust or powder can accumulate.

Primary Dust Explosion Strength Required to Initiate Secondary
Primary Dust Explosion Strength Required to Initiate Secondary Dust Explosion.pdfDestructive dust explosions often occur in two stages in buildings where accumulation of dust deposits on the floors occurs. An off-normal dust handling situation results in a local dust suspension and an initial (or primary) explosion. The air disturbance caused by the primary explosion disperses the dust deposits and now a much larger quantity of dust is suspended and a highly destructive secondary explosion… Continue

Testing Hazards of Novel Dusts
Dust explosions are a serious
hazard in the process industries.
They have lead to the destruction of
property, loss of production and
injury to personnel or death. The
risk of a dust explosion is the product
of the probability of occurrence and
severity of the consequences. One
method used to ascertain the severity
of the consequence of an explosion is
to establish its magnitude. This can
be done by using ASTM E1226
“Standard Test… Continue

Fugitive Dust Control - Don't Let it Sit Around
A massive dust explosion occurred on
January 29, 2003 at theWest Pharmaceutical Services
facility in Kinston, North Carolina. This catastrophic
event claimed the lives of 6 employees and severely
damaged much of the facility. The fuel for this
disaster was determined to be an end product of the
polyethylene slurry used on the rubber compounding
line. As the rubber dried, a fine powder formed. Air
currents in the facility caused the powder to drift… Continue

Dust Explosion Characterization and Hazard Assessment (Part 2)
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… Continue
