Application: Combustible dust | Securing the equipment and the building
Problem: Explosion prevention | Audits of plants
The manufacturing of dairy products involves the use of powders (whey, skim milk) through drying processes, sieving and conveying. These powders and dust (fines) that are generated are combustible and explosive. Production equipment, treatment and dust removal must be adequately secured against fire and explosion; fugitive emissions must be controlled to reduce dust and eliminate the risk of a second explosion (combustible dust).
