Special Hazards

 

Baghouse Fires

Baghouse fires or explosions can result in facilities where pneumatic conveying and
air filtration systems are combined with normal manufacturing processes. The industries at the
highest risk of baghouse fires employ drying, cutting, grinding and other abrasive processes where sparks
and even fires are generated.

Explosion

How a Baghouse Fire or Explosion Happens
A baghouse fire or explosion results when these normal manufacturing processes produce a spark which is then picked up by the pneumatic system and transported along with highly combustible wood chips, dust or other finely divided particles. When that spark reaches the collector or storage bin, a baghouse fire is very possible.

The Consequences of a Baghouse Fire or Explosion
Even one such baghouse fire or explosion can result in damages ranging from costly repairs and down time to loss of plant facilities or even worse… an expensive price to pay for a baghouse fire or explosion which could have been avoided.
