Everything you need to know about how an explosion arise and how to protect your plant
An explosion is based on the availability of oxygen from the air, a source of ignition and a combustible substance. In the event of a dust explosion, the distribution of dust is another factor.
However, not every dust-air mixture is explosive. What matters is the mixing ratio. Specific explosion limits have been identified for every common type of dust, and within those limits you can expect an explosive mixing ratio. (Read More)
Technologies And Machines In Explosive Atmospheres
In everyday language, we may understand several things and physical processes under the word explosion. While the explosion of a heated boiler may cause similar or sometimes even bigger damage than a rapid fire, in we still distinguish between chemical and physical explosions. (Read More)

They need to be suitable to survive in explosive atmospheres, often containing flammable gases, mists, vapours or combustible dusts. When there is enough of these substances, mixed in a deadly cocktail with air, then all it takes is a source of ignition to cause an explosion. This makes working in such environments a deadly and dangerous affair, especially for workers who require the (Read More)
