NFPA 652 introduces a new term, Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA), which is geared toward factories involved in basic processes that generate combustible dusts collected by simple dust collectors.
VAC-U-MAX recognizes the importance of handling combustible dust safely, and has been proactive in this regard for decades. VAC-U-MAX was founded in 1954 to address the need for an intrinsically safe vacuum cleaning system for the textile industry.
The SERIES U single and multichannel wall mounted gas monitors use unique, patented sensors that are highly specific, fast responding, poison resistant, and are unaffected by moisture or temperature changes. Sensors are available for Hydrocarbons, Freons, Ethylene Oxide, Alcohols, Diesel/Gasoline Vapors, Hydrogen, Ammonia, Sulfur Dioxide, Hydrogen Sulfide, Carbon Monoxide, Combustibles and many others gases.
In the agricultural industry, excessive dust is a fuel that can cause serious and sometimes deadly explosions and fires - as was the case at a Georgia chicken feed mill where an explosion killed a 25-year-old man and injured five others in February 2016, federal workplace safety inspectors have found.
Camfil Air Pollution Control (APC) has published a core products brochure that showcases the company's dust, mist and fume collection equipment for a full range of manufacturing industries.
