Abstract EN
Right from the early days of the process industries, continuous efforts have been made to develop and improve measures for prevention and mitigation of dust explosions in these industries.
Nevertheless this hazard continues to threaten industries that manufacture, use and/or handle powders and dusts of a wide range of combustible materials.
To improve methods for predicting explosion development in real industrial plant has been one major challenge.
Hence, during the last years comprehensive numerical simulation codes, for addressing this problem, have been developed.
Progress has also been made in other areas, for example, ignition source prevention.
The importance of adopting inherently safer process design, by building on firm knowledge in powder science and technology, and of systematic education/training of personnel, is also emphasized.
