Dust explosions present a real problem for manufacturing facilities. Plants that handle and process dry bulk materials are especially at risk because of the amount of dust that is created during normal handling and processing. The threat of dust explosions is made worse by the fact that they are not limited to a single industry. Any plant in any industry that handles dry materials is at risk including:
Food Production
Metal Processing
Wood Products
Chemical Manufacturing
Rubber and Plastics
Coal-fired Power Plants
