Dust Explosions: Hazards Recognition, Assessment, and Management

This 8-part live instructor-led online seminar has been derived from the SFPE two-day seminar and updated to include a performance-based approach to the management of dust hazards. Attendees will be able to attend live sessions and re-watch recorded videos of the program.

It is for the practicing fire protection engineer, risk manager, or plant engineer who is dealing with industrial sites that handle combustible particulate solids. This seminar covers the chemistry and physics of dust deflagrations, the process and progress of dust explosions, recognition of a dust explosion hazard when confronted with one, and a review of the means by which the dust explosion hazard can be managed in both a prescriptive and a performance-based design environment, including electrical code compliance, deflagration venting, active deflagration suppression, and active deflagration isolation. Several sample problems will be included as part of the course content.
