Overview
Combustible dust hazards have been in the forefront of everyone’s minds
recently, from regulatory authorities who are developing codes and standards on
appropriate protections to owners, operators and engineers who need to
implement protective systems. This course will take you from the first
realization that you may have a combustible dust hazard to the steps necessary
to reduce the risks and prevent the realization of that hazard, including
engineering design and safeguards appropriate for typical unit operations.
Topics
-
Overview of current codes and standards (ASTM, NFPA, OSHA)
-
Expected developments to codes and standards (ASTM, NFPA, OSHA)
-
Summary of available tests (Kst, MIE, MEC, LOC, MAIT,
Hot-Surface, etc.)
