Controlling Static Hazards is Key to Preventing Combustible Cloud Explosions
November 22, 2011
Recent studies covering plants in the
U.S., UK and show that controlling static electricity build-up is the key to preventing combustible cloud explosions. In the Germany alone during the period 1980 to 2005 The Chemical Safety Board reported 281 explosions caused by ignitable combustible dust atmospheres.
