The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is to provide a safer working environment for powder bulk handling facilities, while simultaneously helping the facility reduce its energy consumption by allowing it to recycle conditioned air back into the building. The risk associated with combustible dusts are catastrophic, yet the awareness of the risks is still lacking. Commercially, this project would design a product that would be installed at powder bulk handling facilities, that handle combustible dust, that would prevent fire propagation from the combustion of dust from entering the work area of the facility. The technical objectives in this Phase I research project are developing an economical device which will act as a flame and pressure arrestor for dust deflagrations, while maintaining enough airflow through the device to allow the process to be balanced. Determining an appropriate stack-up of mesh material that will quench the propagating deflagration, while also withstand the pressures developed during a deflagration, will also help expand the field of knowledge of combustible dust, and developing protection equipment for them. Through the development of this product, additional full scale test will have to be performed which will add to the database of how combustible dust events occur and react.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是为粉末散装处理设施提供一个更安全的工作环境，同时通过允许空调空气回收到建筑中来帮助该设施降低能源消耗。与可燃粉尘相关的风险是灾难性的，但人们仍然缺乏对风险的认识。在商业上，该项目将设计一种产品，该产品将安装在处理可燃粉尘的粉末散装处理设施中，以防止粉尘燃烧产生的火灾传播进入设施的工作区。这个第一阶段研究项目的技术目标是开发一种经济的装置，它将作为粉尘爆燃的火焰和压力阻止器，同时保持足够的气流通过该装置，以使过程保持平衡。确定适当的网状材料堆积，既能熄灭正在传播的爆燃，又能承受爆燃过程中产生的压力，这也将有助于扩大可燃粉尘的知识领域，并为它们开发保护设备。通过该产品的开发，将必须执行额外的全尺寸测试，这将增加可燃粉尘事件如何发生和反应的数据库。
