Dust Ignition Prevention
Combustible dust can be ignited by electrical equipment in several ways, for example by: - Surfaces of the equipment that are above the minimum ignition temperature of the dust concerned. - The temperature at which a type of dust ignites is a function of the properties of the dust;
Read moreSources of Ignition
Ignition of a flammable mixture, or explosive atmosphere, may occur following an arc, spark or hot surface during the use of electrical as well as nonelectrical equipment. Arcs can result from the discharge of stored energy or from switching contacts.
Read moreSources of Release & Grades of Release
Sources of release may originate from almost anywhere in the process or storage area of an explosive atmosphere site. Flammable materials may be released from pumps, pipes, flanges, valves, sampling points, or other similar equipment. The release may be caused for example by either process seal failure, leakage to flanged joints, ruptures to pipe work, spillage from over filling of floating roof storage tank (e.g. following faulty level switch reading), other mechanical failure, or an inadvertent operations error.
