The efficiency of the dedusting solution is key when dealing with products with explosion risks.

The presence of efficient and optimal dedusting installations for explosive products and powders is an essential reality to guarantee the safety of workers, ensure the production process and reduce costs by being able to declassify ATEX zones.

Dedusting installations for explosive products are the answer to these challenges.

Challenges in explosive environments

In industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and bulk materials production, the presence of combustible dust is a common consequence of manufacturing processes. This dust represents a significant risk for the user and the production process since, in the presence of an explosive atmosphere, they can trigger dangerous situations such as catastrophic explosions, endangering the safety of workers and the integrity of the installation.

Dedusting installations are designed with the aim of minimising and eliminating these risks, preventing dust and particles from leaving the production process and depositing itself in the equipment, generating these explosion risks.

If efficient dedusting installations that prevent dust in the facilities are installed and adequately maintained, explosion risk areas can be declassified, with the great advantage being significant savings in equipment and unnecessary certifications.

Key features of dedusting installations for explosive products:

  • Efficient aspiration and filtration systems:
    Any production process that, by its nature, generates dust and is explosive is required to incorporate an efficient aspiration and filtration system. The system should prevent immissions and emissions of dust into the environment, and ensure its continuous operation without stops or malfunctions.

  • Safe design against explosion risks and regulations:
    Dedusting installations for use with explosive products and/or environments must be designed in compliance with specific regulations to avoid sources of ignition, protect equipment in the event of an explosion and avoid secondary explosions. This is to both guarantee a safe work environment and to comply with legal standards.

Applicable regulations may vary by region. For example, in the European Union there are ATEX Directives, in the United States there is NFPA, and at an international level the IECEx certification is accepted.

  • Continuous monitoring:
    Implement continuous monitoring systems to detect any deviation in real time, allowing a rapid response to possible risks and promoting preventive and predictive maintenance.

Advantages of efficient dedusting installations in explosive environments

  • Operating efficiency: Improves process efficiency by maintaining a clean and safe work environment.

  • Savings in CAPEX and OPEX as you can declassify explosive areas as non-explosive.

  • Environmental sustainability: Contributes to sustainability by preventing the uncontrolled release of dusts into the environment.

In conclusion, dedusting installations are essential to guarantee safety and efficiency in industrial environments prone to the generation of explosive environments. Their careful implementation and compliance with specific regulations are essential to mitigate risks and promote a safe and productive work environment.
