Chilworth Technology provides safety services to industry to help PREVENT dust explosions and PROTECT against their effects. Industrial dust explosions occur frequently. They cause loss of life, injury, plant damage, loss of production, litigation and adverse publicity. Industries at risk include: chemical, fine chemical, pharmaceutical, foods, petrochemical, plastics, metal, paints and other processing industries. A wide range of laboratory tests are available to determine the ignition sensitivity and explosion severity of the material and quantify the risk associated with the process. This helps determine the necessary precautions to take to prevent a dust explosion. Independent professional advice Our consultant engineers provide independent consulting advice on explosion prevention and impartial guidance on choice and design of explosion protection systems (relief venting, containment, suppression, use of inert gas, isolation techniques, etc.) We can offer a TOTAL SAFETY PACKAGE to help Dust Explosion Tests Kst and Pmax Values -Measure of explosion severity. Used in relief vent sizing and design of explosion suppression and containment systems. Limiting Oxygen Concentration (LOC) - Measure of the oxygen concentration below which an explosion will not occur. Used in designing inerting systems. Minimum Ignition Energy - Measure of sensitivity to ignition by electrostatic discharge Minimum Ignition Temperature - Measure of sensitivity to ignition by hot surfaces, friction sparks, and electrical equipment Resisitivity, Conductivity, and Chargeability - Measure of ignition risks
