January 18, 2021 By Eric Brideau In a processing or manufacturing facility that handles wood or agricultural materials, there can be solid particulates and dusts with varying particle size distributions that exist throughout the process, some of which may be combustible dusts that are explosible in dust cloud form. But what exactly is a combustible dust, and how can you determine if combustible dust hazards exist in your facility? Conditions for explosions First, it’s critical to understand the conditions that can cause combustible dust explosions. Many wood and agricultural materials are not easily burned in their raw form but may be explosible in dry particulate or dust form. Thi
