Why are ATEX plants important and how to choose the best one for you

Combustible dust is found in a wide variety of industrial sectors (metalworking, food, pharmaceutical, wood, to name a few). However, the risk of dust explosion due to its accumulation inside a building is way too often not correctly identified.

What causes a dust explosion?
Dust explosions happen when powdered combustible material disperses in the air with high concentrations of oxygen. When dust particles come into contact with a source of ignition, a violent oxidation reaction can occur, forming a pressure wave that results in a flame front with explosive effects.
Note that, for this to happen, the combustible dust must be at the right concentration level (based on its explosibility); nevertheless, this is a real and deadly hazard that cannot be underestimated.
