TÜV SÜD Singapore has cordially invited ASPRI members to attend their webinar titled, “Introduction to Dust Explosion in Accordance to IEC 66079-0 and SS667” which is happening on 30 July 2021 (Friday) at 2:30pm.
Dust explosion is catastrophic and when it happens, it surprises everyone. Many don’t realize that the once assumed harmless powder present in production plants can become a fuel source to trigger much destruction, economic damage and even the loss of lives.
This webinar sets out requirements and recommendations to help in the prevention of fires and explosions through systematic approaches of analysing dust hazards, and implementation of appropriate control measures to eliminate or mitigate the explosion risks. The Singapore code of practice SS667 will be referenced and practical examples of common process equipment will also be presented to assess explosion risks during this webinar.
