Dust a core problem for plant safety and explosion prevention

At POWTECH, production engineers, process technicians and systems planners in the chemical industry will find not just the latest trends in process and production optimisation, but also a focus on plant safety and explosion prevention. So many materials used in chemistry are processed in powder form during production processes, or finish processing as powders or granulates, that dust can very readily increase safety risks all by itself.

The group of safety technology vendors, with about 350 exhibitors, is one of the most important at POWTECH. More than 200 of these exhibitors will be showing innovative solutions for electric and non-electric explosion protection. Other important fields offer include fire protection, emission protection, and of course occupational safety, helping to make POWTECH one of the most important trade fairs for specialists in chemistry in particular.

Special forum on explosion protection

The second afternoon of the event will also be devoted to efficient explosion protection at the POWTECH forum. Technical presentations on fire and explosion protection will be followed by a panel discussion and an exclusive guided tour by trade journal publisher Vereinigte Fachverlage. Also worth seeing are the live explosions in the exhibition centre parklands.

Forum on “Gentle conveying of solids”

It’s not uncommon for the chemical industry to use sensitive bulk solids that must be handled delicately and transported gently, without segregation, from point A to point B. A special lecture series by the Konradin Verlag publishing house on the first day of the fair will provide the POWTECH forum with a complete view of current technologies.
