Enhanced Removal of Contaminants from Gas/Liquid Feeds to Petrochemical and Chemical Plants

As chemical reactions are scaled from lab to manufacturing, potential safety issues of non-scalable conditions need to be identified early in development. Reaction calorimetry provides crucial information quickly, which can be applied to quantify the risks and criticality associated with a chemical process.

The Webinar provides an overview of the Applied Research Sector in Brazil, presented by the SENAI Innovation Institutes. Part II of the webinar series is focussed on the industry and research topic of Chemistry & Biosynthetics, addressed to Brazilian and European STI actors aiming to increase their knowledge in the respective market and to identify potential collaboration possibilities. Research Potential and further collaboration opportunities in Brazil in the area of chemical industry.

Once again in 2018, we are bringing together industry leaders in hazard identification, evaluation and control for combustible dust hazards for an exclusive roundtable discussion. Our moderator, Guy Colonna, senior director of the National Fire Protection Association, will challenge our panelists with tough questions in order to increase awareness of the hazards and the available safeguards of fires and explosions within combustible solids processing and handling industries. Attendees will walk away with sound ideas and solutions to eliminate threats. To ensure we address issues most critical to you in your efforts to safeguard workers, facilities and the surrounding communities, let us know what you need most in your work to manage combustible dust hazards.

Combustible dust poses a hazard to numerous industries, such as food, wood, chemical, plastics, and metals. Dust fires and explosions are relatively rare, but when they occur, they can be catastrophic. The first step to ensure safe operations involving combustible dust is to conduct a dust hazard analysis. This webinar will provide viewers with a guide to identifying combustible dust hazards in manufacturing facilities. The topics will include developing a dust sampling plan, principles of dust clouds and ignitable atmospheres, and mechanics of dust flash fires and explosions. The webinar will then cover how to analyze processes and buildings to determine where dust fire and explosion hazards exists by evaluating normal and abnormal operating conditions, potential ignition sources, and existing safeguards in place.
