EXPLOSIONS

摘要

Examination of the dust explosion history in pulp and paper manufacturing facilities in the U.S. indicates that the frequency of explosions in this sector is less than other industries where combustible dusts are processed, handled or otherwise generated. The reason for this statistic may be, in part, due to the low bulk density of pulp and paper dust and the agglomerative nature of the dust that is generated. These characteristics offer some benefit with regard to controls to manage the risk.
