- case studies which are based on realistic plants, e.g. prevent dust explosion in a mill.
- specific modules of complex systems like product feeding, storage and product discharge, grinding/crushing, drying, filling and packaging.
- new technologies and trends like IoT with impact on sensor technologies.
- examples and knowledge about explosion incidents.
„Modular Approach“ – Explosion Safety of Bulk Material Plants
A modular structure shows how to divide the assessment for a system with regard to the explosion risk into smaller units, so-called "modules".

Suva-Videos "Exciting experiences"
This Project Group is part of the joint Working Group “Explosion Protection” of our ISSA-Section on Machine and System Safety and the ISSA Section on Prevention in the Chemical Industry.
The project group of the ISSA Section on Prevention in the Chemical Industry is dealing, for example, with ignition sources; elaboration of "fact sheets" regarding green energy (such as wood pellets, fermentation gas arrangement, hydrogen).
