Description: "Dust explosions kill dozens of people and wound hundreds every year. Most of these accidents could have been prevented, through safer processes and better-maintained equipment. This new edition of 'Dust Explosions in the Process Industries' explores the causes of dust explosions in a wide array of process industries such as petrochemical, food and feedstuff, paper, pharmaceutical and metallurgical. More importantly, it shows how to learn from these past accidents and prevent future ones."--Back cover.
