As described in various ISSA brochures, especially “Dust Explosion Prevention and Protection for Machines and Equipment - Basic Principles” (ISSA, 2004, Mannheim, ISBN 92-843-7129-5), both preventive and protective measures can be applied, as single measures or in combination.
In the following chapters typical dust explosion hazards and possible preventive and protective measures will be discussed for various machinery and installations.
In this brochure it is assumed that hybrid mixtures are not present.
This means that no flammable gases or vapours with a concentration of more than 20 vol. -% of the lower explosion limit (LEL) are present.
