Over 70% of the powders handled by industry could decomposed thermally. And when you consider that thermal decomposition is the root cause of many fires and explosions within the process industries, it is essential that your staff understand all of the hazards posed by handling powders. Only then can you reduce the risk of fire, explosion or loss of product quality.
If you dry, process, transfer, store, package or transport powders, Thermal Instability of Powders is a cost-effective way of training all your staff in how to reduce the risk of accidents.

Many of the case studies in this package are drawn from the UK Health and Safety Executive's own investigations. Produced with the HSE, the package explains how seemingly simple changes in operating procedure, equipment design or process conditions/chemistry can lead to loss of personnel, plant and product.
The 57 minute video treats the subject comprehensively: it describes why exothermic reactions runaway, control methods and the importance of testing and pilot plant studies. More detailed technical guidance is provided by the IChemE book Chemical Reaction Hazards, also illustrated by slides.

Many materials form dust clouds that can easily ignite and explode, injuring personnel and damaging plant. Produced in conjunction with Chilworth Technology Ltd, this package will make all levels of personnel aware of the hazards and explains how to avoid dust explosions.
Dust Explosion Hazards 25 minute video introduces the subject, explaining: how to assess the dust explosion hazard; preventing and protecting against dust explosions: and testing your product. The following explosions are demonstrated: maize flour in confined space: maize flour unconfined space; and sugar fines.
Slides illustrate case histories drawn from diverse industries such as: explosion in cereal processing plant; explosion of wood fines; and explosion in metal pulverising plant. They also support the comprehensive technical guidance and glossary.

In Europe an accident is caused every day by electrostatic sparks. This package makes staff aware of the hazards and how they can reduce the risk of incident.
In the first part of the video trainees learn how to assess electrostatic hazards by asking the following questions: is the atmosphere flammable? Could charge be generated? Could charge accumulate? Is there a spark risk? Does the spark have enough energy to ignite the flammable atmosphere? The second part explains how to reduce the risk by earthing, controlling charge build up and using appropriate materials.
Case studies include: explosions in a sieve and a flaker; explosion while charging a reactor; explosion in a fluid bed dryer; and the fire in polymer powder. The package also includes 75 slides. It was produced in conjunction with the ChilworthTechnology Ltd.
