Industrial Explosion Protection
February 13, 2025
12 p.m. Central
Industrial explosions present serious risk to agricultural and food processing manufactures who handle combustible dusts and vapors. An ignition of a dust or vapor cloud in process equipment can not only destroy the primary vessel, but also propagate to interconnected equipment and into the plant, causing secondary explosions with devastating results. Fortunately, there are proven ways to deal with this threat. This presentation from Michael Carlin of IEP Technologies will discuss how explosions initiate and propagate, the types of processes and process equipment most exposed to deflagrations, explosion prevention considerations, and the various methods of deflagration protection that can be employed to protect facilities against explosions, including explosion suppression, venting and isolation.
