Abstract

A discussion covers the importance of the prevention and mitigation of dust and hybrid mixture explosions; the use of the inherent safety principle of moderation to achieve a degree of explosion risk reduction; use of a test matrix composed of various size fractions of polyethylene powder and concentrations of hydrocarbon gas (ethylene, hexane, and propane); moderating the risk of explosion; enhancement of mixture reactivity; and the possible use of a gaseous surrogate, e.g., propane, for a solvent that is liquid at ambient conditions, e.g., hexane, in hybrid mixture testing. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2009 AIChE Spring National Meeting and 5th Global Congress on Process Safety (Tampa, FL 4/26-30/2009).
