Factors Affecting Explosion Vent Size Calculations

On Thursday, March 17, 2022 at 2 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific, Dr. Ashok Ghose Dastidar, vice president, dust & flammability testing and consulting services, Fauske & Associates Inc., will present "Factors Affecting Explosion Vent Size Calculations" as part of Powder & Bulk Solids' DryPro webinar series.

Laboratory testing parameters as well as sample physical/chemical characteristics that can influence explosion vent sizing will be discussed with sample calculations to demonstrate concepts.

This presentation will answer the following common questions regarding dust explosion vent sizing challenges.

Dr. Dastidar specializes in chemical process hazards analysis, flammable dusts, liquids & vapors explosion and combustion hazards analysis and testing and electrostatic hazards analysis. He has extensive technical experience performing tests and analyzing data to determine electrostatic hazards, dust explosibility hazards, flammability hazards, thermal stability and reactivity hazards, and hazard analysis and risk mitigation. Dr. Dastidar has published 12 articles and presented at more than 20 conferences. He has a Ph.D., Chemical Engineering, Dalhousie University, an M.A.Sc., Chemical Engineering, Technical University of Nova Scotia, M.B.A, Management Science, Saint Mary's University, and a B.S., Honors in Chemistry from Dalhousie University.
