Synopsis

This work is a comprehensive account of the existing practical and theoretical knowledge of the origin, development, prevention and mitigation of dust explosions in the process industries. It offers an up-to-date evaluation of prevalent activities, testing methods, design measures and safe operating techniques in a detailed and comprehensive critique of all the significant phases relating to the hazard and control of a dust explosion. This should be a useful reference work for design, production, maintenance and safety engineers in the process industries, safety consultants and students.
