The physical process of removing dust from an industrial facility is relatively straightforward. However, specialized equipment and operator training is often required. Perhaps the most important thing is good planning.

According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), any dust that poses a deflagration hazard, regardless of particulate size or shape, is considered combustible. If you operate a facility that fits certain criteria, it is time to begin taking the potential of combustible dust seriously.

Dust can pose a serious fire risk in a variety of industrial facilities. It’s important for businesses to understand the types of dust they may encounter, along with the factors that create a potentially combustible situation.
