Chemical Engineering Professor, Paul Amyotte's new book, An Introduction to Dust Explosions, examines the reasons why preventable dust explosions continue to occur in industry in spite of significant research and practice efforts worldwide over many years.
Amyotte's book describes a number of dust eplosion myths - which together cover the main source of dust explosion hazards - the reasons they exist and the corresponding scientific and engineering facts that mitigate these circumstances. The book also includes a critical guide to managing and mitigating dust explosion risks.
