[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3402923, member: 5412"] I know you know this already. Just info related to the thread All grain elevators have dust collection systems as well as other facilities like sugar producers. Big explosion back on the East coast a few years back with a sugar factory not related to the silos. It was dust on top of the AC ducting along with some related issues you wouldn’t think no of Coal fired power plants are especially vulnerable We had to attend monthly training sessions to understand why along with inviting local fire departments so they would understood high pressure water during a fire would create the potential for an explosion or a bigger fire. Misting is the only way to fight a dust fire to wet it. High pressure creates a cloud of dust that is explosive. [/QUOTE]
