Industrial explosions can occur anywhere where combustible powders and/or flammable vapours are handled, such as facilities dealing with wood, flour, starch, sugar, rubber, plastics, pharmaceuticals, oil, gas, and other industries. Explosions can lead to loss of lives and colossal costs to companies found culpable for failing to follow safety protocols. Explosion Safety for Industries presents a set of preventative measures, rules, and standards to mitigate the risk of explosions by preventing potential explosive atmosphere formation. Coverage includes risks and hazards, equipment selection, earthing systems, static electricity, and lightning protection, among others. This book aims to help those responsible for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of process plants comply with the provisions of international safety legislation. Readers will develop a thorough understanding of the science behind explosions and the methods and measures needed to prevent accidents irrespective of their workplace or industry. This book is a comprehensive guide for industrial explosion prevention and protection for safety engineers, specialists, and managers as well as for physicists, chemists, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers.
