In dust explosion occurrences, the available investigations reveal that 9% of them had static sparking as ignition source; and this amount rises to 35% in case of polymeric powders.<\/p>\n<p>From the electrification of liquids, powders, solids and non-conductive coatings can result both the ignition risk as the physical shock. The ideal solution for solids and coatings is the usage of electricity conductive non-metallic material. Should these materials are not commercially available in all required forms, it is necessary to evaluate the possibility of non-conductive elements discharge, at any situation in which they shall be used. In particular, one should consider the possibility of high-energy discharges from the content of non-conductor containers. Understanding the charge generation process, we can control and\/or eliminate this hazard through appropriate measures such as sizing, earthing, conductive non-metallic materials, ionization, etc.<\/p>\n<p>As a rule, the necessary assessments can be made in a qualitative or semi-quantitative way; but they can be more accurate and produce more effective protection measures if there are suitable data about the behavior of the system at issue. This implies a more specialized assessment, with laboratory tests to determine, for example, resistivity, charge decay, minimum ignition energy or explosion behavior.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button admin_label=&#8221;Bot\u00e3o&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Contact Us&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;15&#8243; button_text_color=&#8221;#3d3d3d&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#e5e5e5&#8243; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;0&#8243; button_use_icon=&#8221;default&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; button_url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/contact\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;Se\u00e7\u00e3o&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; specialty=&#8221;off&#8221; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; inner_shadow=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_header admin_label=&#8221;Cabe\u00e7alho de Largura Completa&#8221; title=&#8221;PROCESS SAFETY&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; header_fullscreen=&#8221;off&#8221; header_scroll_down=&#8221;off&#8221; background_url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/seguran\u00e7a-de-processos.jpg&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; content_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; image_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_button_one=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing=&#8221;0&#8243; button_one_use_icon=&#8221;default&#8221; button_one_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_one_on_hover=&#8221;on&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_button_two=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing=&#8221;0&#8243; button_two_use_icon=&#8221;default&#8221; button_two_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_two_on_hover=&#8221;on&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243;] [\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;Se\u00e7\u00e3o&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; specialty=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Linha&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;25px|||&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-883","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1553,"href":"https:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/883\/revisions\/1553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.processos.eng.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
