Chemical Processing Powder eHandbook: Address Challenges Posed by Powders
Posted: 11/10/2011
One of the trickiest materials to process, powders are comprised of solids or particulates, a continuous gaseous phase (usually air) and, almost always, a liquid component. Many factors influence powder composition including size and distribution, surface roughness and hardness. And, how powders are processed -- vibration, compaction, attrition, segregation -- can influence how powders react. In this Chemical Processing Powder eHandbook, we take a look at how to effectively handle powders, safer dryer operations and how to manage phase changes when processing powders.

Gas And Dust Explosions -- Relief Sizing Formula
Author: Fauske & Associates
Posted: 05/06/2011
A large number of analytical and highly empirical correlations including monograms reflecting changing standards have been or are being proposed separately for gas and dust explosion relief venting. This white paper provides a generalized formula that is applicable to both gas and dust deflagrations including subsonic and sonic pressure relief conditions and is consistent with available experimental data and industry experience. Application of the model is illustrated for dust explosions. Download now.

What Does It Cost To Own Your Dust Collector Filters?
Author: Camfil Farr APC
Posted: 03/04/2011
When choosing filters for your cartridge dust collector, a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculation allows you to make the most economical and sustainable choice. TCO is a step-by-step evaluation that explores energy use, maintenance and other factors to compare the real costs of operating a dust collector with different filters. This white paper explains how to perform TCO calculations to save money, time and energy.

OSHA & NFPA Compliant: Keeping Your Plant Safe
Author: Mettler Toledo
Posted: 09/20/2010
In March 2008, OSHA reissued its Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program (NEP) notifying approximately 30,000 companies nationwide that they will be targeted for inspections over the next few years. Mettler Toledo recognizes that many manufacturers are not up-to-date on the latest hazardous area compliance regulations or may not know that their industry is subject to those regulations. Don't wait until your facility receives a surprise visit from OSHA or worse yet, for a catastrophic incident to occur. Take the proactive approach to addressing the "hazardous area advisory level" in your facility.
