						equipment are dispensing stations, open centrifuges, plate and frame filters,
						open vacuum filters, and surfaces of open equipment.
(f) Areas where Category 1 or unstable
						liquids are processed shall have explosion venting through one or more of the
						following methods:
(1) Open air
						construction;
(2) Lightweight walls
						and roof;
