WARNING
Process owners/operators have important responsibilities
relating to combustible hazards. Process owners/operators
must determine whether their process creates combustible
dust, fume, or mist. If combustible dust, fumes, or mist is
generated, process owners/operators should at a minimum:
• Comply with all applicable codes and standards.
Among other considerations, current NFPA standards
require owners/operators whose processes involve
potentially combustible materials to have a current
hazard analysis, which can serve as the foundation for
their process hazard mitigation strategies.
• Prevent all ignition sources from entering any dust
collection equipment.
• Design, select, and implement fire and explosion
mitigation, suppression, and isolation strategies that
are appropriate for the risks associated with their
application.
• Develop and implement maintenance work practices to
maintain a safe operating environment, ensuring that
combustible dust, fumes, or mist does no accumulate
within the plant.
Micro Air recommends process owners/operators consult
with experts to ensure all of these responsibilities are met.
As a manufacturer and supplier of Industrial Filtration
Products, Micro Air can assist process owners/operators in
the selection of filtration technologies. However, process
owners/operators retain all responsibility for the suitability
of fire and explosion hazard mitigation, suppression, and
isolation strategies. Micro Air assumes no responsibility
or liabitlity for the suitability of any fire and/or explosion
mitigation strategy, or any items incorporated into a
collector as part of an owner/operator hazard mitigation
strategy.
Improper operation of a dust control system may contribute
to conditions in the work area or facility that could result
in severe personal injury and product or property damage.
Check that all collection equipment is properly selected and
sized for the inteded use.
Always follow the requirements of all authorities having
jurisdiciton (National and Local) in the application,
installation, orperation and servicing of the dust collector.
Many of the processes outlined in this manual will expose
the installer to circuits powered by high voltage. This
installation is recommended for professional electricians or
Micro Air trained factory service personnel. Lock out/ Tag
out procedures are required.
The installation/operation manual must be read and
followed in its entirety.
