How
to Protect Industrial Processes from Fire and Dust Explosions -
Anything that has been transformed into fine particles can explode.
Unfortunately, all too often it does. - Every year, many serious fires and
explosions occur in industrial plants as a result of dust. Yes, dust. Fine
inflammable material is explosive! The statistics speak for themselves. Dust
explosions lead to considerable material damage and long production shutdowns.
Every year there are also accidents with fatal consequences - Thanks to FireFly
and ICEweb sponsor PROdetec.

study concerns the methodology used by MSDU, HSE in assessing Land Use Planning
cases (LUP) near Hazardous
Installations storing LPG and presenting a Vapour Cloud Explosion (VCE)
hazard. The work is also relevant to all risk assessment and consequence models
that are used to assess the hazard
posed by blast.
