Product Description Unfortunately, dust explosions are common and costly in a wide array of industries such as petrochemical, food, paper and pharmaceutical. It is imperative that practical and theoretical knowledge of the origin, development, prevention and mitigation of dust explosions is imparted to the responsible safety manager. The material in this book offers an up to date evaluation of prevalent activities, testing methods, design measures and safe operating techniques. Also provided is a detailed and comprehensive critique of all the significant phases relating to the hazard and control of a dust explosion. An invaluable reference work for industry, safety consultants and students. • A completely new chapter on design of electrical equipment to be used in areas containing combustible/explosible dust • A substantially extended and re-organized final review chapter, containing nearly 400 new literature references from the years 1997-2002 • Extensive cross-referencing from the original chapters 1-7 to the corresponding sections of the expanded review chapter | ||

The best book available on dust explosions in English. Dr. Eckhoff has amassed the most comprehensive overview of the subject ever developed. He reports on the research and findings of many other scientists and in so doing provides a forum and a resource. This book is a one stop reference for information on the causes, effects and alternatives available for dealing with this complex phenomenon. The 2nd edition includes a new chpater 8, which is a review of new research and findings that came out since the original publication. This helps keep the book up to date, but the basics are the same in both the 1st and 2nd editions. Highly recommended. | ||
Best 'one stop' reference in the field of dust explosions Eckhoff's book is organized in an efficient manner, the first chapter providing an excellent overall tutorial on the general subject of dust explosions and subsequent chapters providing optional reading material for those desiring a more in-depth treatment of individual topics in the field. The text is extremely readable and Eckhoff has gone to great lengths to make the subject matter understandable and informative to laypersons and experts alike. This book should serve well as the foundation reference on the subject of dust explosions in the library of the process safety professional or persons involved in dry-end manufacturing operations | ||
