Did you know that dust can explode?
That is to say any organic material—wood, paper, rubber, fiber, food, tobacco, etc.—can create dust given the right conditions.
In this controlled demonstration at FM Global's one--of-a-kind Research Campus in West Glocester, RI, the five ingredients needed to cause dust to explode—air, fuel, heat, suspension and confinement—are provided to cause the explosion, or more appropriately, a partial volume deflagration.
Here, one hard hat full (11 lbs. or 5 kg.) of coal dust is placed in a trough approximately 2/3 of the height of the enclosure, which measures 10 ft. wide x 12 ft. deep x 15 ft. high. A small charge was then introduced to disturb and suspend the dust followed by an ignition source (bottle rocket).
Although you may not be able to totally eliminate combustible dust from your process or your facility, there are prevention measures you can take to reduce the frequency of dust fires and explosions. Likewise, control measures can reduce the severity of a fire or explosion. Together, these can help you reduce the likelihood of property damage and business interruption.
Takeaway: If it didn't start out as a rock, it can explode.

Traditionally these industries only used vent panels to discharge the harmfull effects of the overpressure from the relevent enclosure sometimes inside the building. Now explosion Isolation devices like valves and chemical barriers are used to prevent the propogation to associated plant. Venting inside buildings is no longer allowed and flameless vents or vents ducted to a safe area outside is now common practice.

One year after 14 workers died in an explosion at Imperial Sugar, combustible dust fires and explosions continue to occur at U.S. businesses. OSHA has not begun rulemaking on a comprehensive combustible dust standard, as recommended by the Chemical Safety Board in 2006. More needs to be done, according to CSB Chairman John Bresland. That's the safety message for February 4, 2009.

A dust explosion is the fast combustion of dust particles suspended in the air in an enclosed location. Coal dust explosions are a frequent hazard in underground coal mines, but dust explosions can occur where any powdered combustible material is present in an enclosed atmosphere.
The requirements for a dust explosion are often called the explosion pentagon. The five main components, of the dust explosion consist of the following:
Many materials which are commonly known to oxidise can generate a dust explosion, such as coal, sawdust, and magnesium. However, many otherwise mundane materials can also lead to a dangerous dust cloud such as grain, flour, sugar, powdered milk and pollen. Many powdered metals (such as aluminium and titanium) can form explosive suspensions in air.
The dust can arise from activities such as transporting grain and indeed grain silos do regularly have explosions. Mining of coal leads to coal dust and flour mills likewise have large amounts of flour dust as a result of milling. A gigantic explosion of flour dust destroyed a mill in Minnesota on May 2, 1878, killing 18 workers at the Washburn A Mill. A similar problem occurs in saw mills and other places dedicated to carpentry. Thermobaric weapons, depending upon their fuel, are also a potential and intentional source of dust.

Did you know that dust can explode?
That is to say any organic material—wood, paper, rubber, fiber, food, tobacco, etc.—can create dust given the right conditions.
In this controlled demonstration at FM Global's one--of-a-kind Research Campus in West Glocester, RI, the five ingredients needed to cause dust to explode—air, fuel, heat, suspension and confinement—are provided to cause the explosion, or more appropriately, a partial volume deflagration.
Here, one hard hat full (11 lbs. or 5 kg.) of coal dust is placed in a trough approximately 2/3 of the height of the enclosure, which measures 10 ft. wide x 12 ft. deep x 15 ft. high. A small charge was then introduced to disturb and suspend the dust followed by an ignition source (bottle rocket).
Although you may not be able to totally eliminate combustible dust from your process or your facility, there are prevention measures you can take to reduce the frequency of dust fires and explosions. Likewise, control measures can reduce the severity of a fire or explosion. Together, these can help you reduce the likelihood of property damage and business interruption.
Takeaway: If it didn't start out as a rock, it can explode.

Now explosion Isolation devices like valves and chemical barriers are used to prevent the propogation to associated plant. Venting inside buildings is no longer allowed and flameless vents or vents ducted to a safe area outside is now common practice.
