A potential dust explosion hazard exists any time a combustible dust is stored, handled or processed. Once that fact is recognized, steps can be taken to protect the workers and property at the plant where such operations are conducted. The purpose of this paper is to provide a basic overview of key dust explosion safety considerations. Qualitative guidance is provided on housekeeping and equipment design versus electrical classification.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
As high hazard facilities, biofuels sites should focus on developing a fire protections strategy informed by performance-based analysis so strategies implemented meet the unique challenges found at each facility.
