The danger of a dust explosion can also exist in everyday industrial processes. Where combustible materials are conveyed, filtered, heated, rolled or processed in fine powder form, three elements of the "pentagon of explosion" can already combine: dust, oxygen and an ignition source. In addition, if the dust is properly distributed and in a closed and unprotected container, a deflagration can occur, resulting in immediate overpressure and flame propagation. An investigation of the explosion risk usually results in several recommendations for the introduction of protective measures. In order to implement the required protection of people and property in accordance with rules and standards, the general conditions on site must be taken into account. These consist, among other things, of the type and structure of the system, the environmental conditions and the budget. The proven BS&B range of products for industrial explosion protection offers flexible solutions for all operating conditions. This includes explosion venting and explosion suppression solutions, a selection of chemical and mechanical systems to isolate interconnected processing equipment, and spark detection and suppression equipment to eliminate potential ignition sources of a dust explosion or fire.
