Introduction; Danger of Fire and Explosion; Origins of Static Electricity; Principles of Safety Measures; Electrostatic Gas Discharges as an Ignition Source; Case Histories Related to Brush Discharges; Case Histories Related to Cone Discharges; Case Histories Related to Propagating Brush Discharges; Case Histories Relating to Spark Discharges - Dusts, Hybrid Mixtures, Liquids; Case Histories Not Related to Electrostatics; Nuisances and Shock for Personnel; Index
In the US, UK and Europe there is in excess of one notifiable dust or electrostatic explosion every day of the year. This clearly makes the hazards associated with the handling of materials subject to either cause or react to electrostatic discharge of vital importance to anyone associated with their handling or industrial bulk use. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the dangers of static electricity and how to avoid them. It will prove invaluable to safety managers and professionals, as well as all personnel involved in the activities concerned, in the chemical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and petrochemical process industries. The book makes extended use of case studies to illustrate the principles being expounded, thereby making it far more open, accessible and attractive to the practitioner in industry than the highly theoretical texts which are also available. The authors have many years' experience in the area behind them, including the professional teaching of the content provided here. Gunter Luttgens is a widely acknowledged consultant who travels Europe providing training to major industrial corporations on this subject, whilst Norman Wilson practices what is written here in his professional capacity with the British Textile Technology Group.
