Abstract
A full scale pneumatic conveying and storage facility has been established
to investigate the hazard of electrostatic ignition of dust clouds
inside storage silos. The facility can operate under typical industrial
conditions and is fully instrumented to monitor parameters relevant
to electrostatic hazard analysis. This paper presents results of
a comprehensive study which has examined the likelihood of creation
of electrostatic discharges incendive to dispersed sugar dust inside
sugar storage silos. Data were obtained from the experimental facility
and also from experiments performed inside a large concrete storage
bin at a sugarrefinery.
