Schema for Combustible Dust Testing to Provide Data for a Dust Hazards Analysis (DHA)
When: Tuesday, March 31, 2020; 2 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific
Speaker: Dr. Ashok Ghose Dastidar, Vice President, Dust & Flammability Testing and Consulting Services, Fauske & Associates LLC
Assessing the combustible nature of dusts and powders is very different that gases and vapors. For gases and vapors the chemical reaction is based solely on molecular level interactions. However, for dusts and powders the reactivity is based on additional factors such as particle size distribution, particle morphology and moisture content. As such test data becomes crucial when assessing process hazards at a facility; resorting to literature values for combustibility information is not prudent. This presentation will discuss a schema to be used to generate explosion severity, ignition sensitivity and burning potential data to be used in a Dust Hazards Analysis as well as fire/explosion mitigation strategies. The schema is a two fork 4-stage model that will cover testing for both deflagration and fire potential assessments for DHAs

Right-Sizing Explosion Protection through Dust Testing
When: Thursday, November 14, 2019 Time: 2pm Eastern/11am Pacific
While some information may be available characterizing a dust’s hazard characteristics, a small investment in appropriately understanding specific properties of your facility’s dusts can result in substantial savings in explosion protection equipment and maintenance. Martin Clouthier, MSc., PEng., director, Jensen Hughes, will review the science behind many common dust tests, and specifically how using the cubic meter chamber in lieu of the standard 20L vessel can justify elimination or reduction of explosion protection equipment in certain situations.
